Pinnacle is proud to announce we have partnered with EMA (Employers Manufacturers Association) and to provide practice managers and owners with membership for one year, beginning 1 July 2022.

Developments in technology have made point of care ultrasound available for use by general practitioners as a diagnostic tool. There are two remaining spots still available on the Hamilton point of care ultrasound (POCUS) programme workshop on 14 and 15 August.

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) was rolled out to 29 rural GP practices across the Pinnacle network in September, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from clinicians.

Over the past few months we have been developing the Pinnacle Group strategy by doing a lot of listening, both within the Pinnacle network and also with other providers, agencies and iwi.
