The provision of Practice Support Navigators is a funded innovative response by Waitaha Primary Health to support General Practices/ Medical Centre teams with the excellent work they do for enrolled patients and their families/Whanau.
Practice Support Navigators support General Practice Teams’ work with patients by reducing a variety of health and social service access inequities and by directly working with patients and whanau to assist them to achieve their health goals and improve their health outcomes. This is a free service for enrolled patients and their families.
Practice Support Navigators work in partnership with Whānau Ora Navigators to achieve the best outcomes for Maori Whanau, and with Waitaha Primary Health’s Pasifika Navigator for Pasifika peoples.
