Meet our fantastic finalists

In a year that’s been far from ordinary, the New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards | He Tohu Mauri Ora 2021 are celebrating extraordinary achievements across the primary healthcare sector.

Forty-seven finalists have risen to this year’s challenge to deliver awesome health and work towards equitable outcomes.

They are now eagerly waiting to learn whether they will win an award. If they miss out, they can still feel proud – their entries were selected from more than 130 submissions this year.

Every day, GPs, nurses, practice managers, pharmacists, midwives and others are finding smart ways to collaborate, innovate and place patients at the heart of healthcare.

The awards showcase their outstanding work and tireless dedication to improving the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders.

Awards finalists will be honoured at a gala night on 15 May, at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland. The evening finishes with a big reveal – the winner of the ACC Supreme Award, chosen from all the category winners.

Don’t miss your chance to dine and dance the night away with the stars of primary care. Be quick to book your seat or table – limited seats are available and ticket sales close on 1 May. Email Emma Houltham at NZPHAwards@pgnz.org.nz
