A suite of population health and wellbeing resources have been developed to support general practice and district teams.
These reports bring together district insights, data and practical considerations to help inform planning, service development and equity-focused improvement.
Explore population health and wellbeing profiles for each district - Lakes, Tairāwhiti, Waikato and Taranaki.
Each report provides a snapshot of local population characteristics, key health indicators and the factors shaping wellbeing in your communities.
To provide broader regional context, we’ve also created the following.
The strategic summary report is an overview that highlights the key findings and opportunities (from all reports). It’s the ideal entry point if you’re looking for a quick, high-level summary.
These reports are designed to help you understand the local population context, inform discussions about service planning and workforce needs, and support collective efforts to improve health and wellbeing across the Pinnacle network.
The files below have been optimised for online viewing. If you’d like to print any of them, please contact Janet Amey (details below) to receive the high-resolution versions.
General practice is changing, and practice owners are at the centre of that change. Following our population health and wellbeing resources, this booklet turns the lens inward to focus on what these insights might mean for your practice.
It brings together population trends, workforce realities, funding pressures and emerging opportunities to support you as both a clinical leader and a business owner. The emphasis is practical: how you might adapt your model of care, make better use of the whole team, strengthen resilience and use digital and AI tools in ways that genuinely add value for patients and staff.
This resource is designed to support reflection, conversations and action. Short self-assessments in the document help you take stock of where your practice is now and identify priority areas for the years ahead.
Next steps for practices: For further information or tailored support, your development manager is available to talk to and help you identify practical next steps for your practice.
