This webinar series is for Pinnacle practice nurses new to practice nursing. The series covers some of the services and functions of Pinnacle Midlands Health Network; core aspects of the practice nurse role and other multi-disciplinary roles connected to general practice.
Mentoring is a great tool to support new practice managers, especially those new to healthcare, as they find their feet. We've identified existing mentoring programmes that may be accessible to practice managers, with a focus on structured, one-on-one mentorship models.
We have three full-time and two part-time staff in the nurse lead space across the Pinnacle network. They work as a team to support over 450 nurses (Waikato, Lakes, Taranaki, Tairāwhiti) with a key focus on growing and supporting our nursing kaimahi (staff).
Pinnacle’s Regional Rural Advisory Group (RRAG) brings the voice of rural teams, GPs, nurse practitioners into the governance of resources specifically provided to help address the needs of our rural communities.
From support with new role implementation such as primary care assistants (PCAs) to mapping and redesign of current processes such as repeat prescribing processes, your local Pinnacle development manager can support your changing practice needs.
By developing new roles, we are able to re-allocate tasks that might otherwise be done by GPs and nursing staff. This can help patients to receive care in a timely fashion, from the right person first, while freeing up time for clinical staff to do what they’ve been trained for.
Regional Pinnacle practice management hui (meetings) are open to those managing general practices, usually the practice managers, businesses managers and CEOs. Admin leads may also be interested in these hui.
