Network drop-in session: Key Te Whatu Ora Health NZ primary care updates

17 March 2026, 6:30pm
Virtual event

Te Whatu Ora has recently shared several important updates that will affect general practice over the coming months. We know these national changes can feel complex and, at times, overwhelming.

We are hosting a virtual network briefing on Tuesday 17 March at 6.30pm via Microsoft Teams, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, talk through what these updates really mean, and explain how Pinnacle will support you through this next phase.

We will cover:

  • opting in or out of contingent capitation, with your decision due to Te Whatu Ora by 31 March 2026
  • data sharing encounter and appointment data if you decide to opt in
  • implementing the Shared Digital Health Record and the steps your practice needs to take to be ready. 

We strongly encourage attendance as these are significant changes, with tight timeframes.

Improving access to care
Published: 20/02/2020 | Document

GPs in each of our districts get frustrated when they hit barriers when seeking interventions from other providers. There is a perception that DHB services are becoming more difficult to access and that different DHBs have different levels of service available to their communities. This page outlines our process for advocating alongside practices.
