The Pinnacle Incorporated Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 at 6.00pm in Hamilton.

Katoa, a new customised app, will make it easier for Pinnacle staff and the Midlands Health Network to learn and use Māori language, culture and customs in their day-to-day work. Katoa aims to support Pinnacle’s efforts to build a culturally aware health workforce across the network.

Pinnacle supports and is excited by the potential establishment of a third medical school through Waikato University.

Yesterday the health minister announced a pay increase of 8 per cent on average for practice and community nurses and kaiāwhina. This is a start and some good news after 12 months of advocacy for pay parity for this workforce.

On Friday 12 May we celebrate nurses across the globe as we remember the pioneer of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, and her legacy.
