Description
How Healthy is our Health System?
With Health on everyone’s immediate radar at the moment, we felt it opportune to check in on the health of our current system and what it could look like in the future
So, join us for a Webinar with Helen Parker, Chief Executive of Pinnacle MHN who runs the organisation that our GPs are part of. They are our first line of defence against getting sick and we need them to be healthy.
Pinnacle Health is a network of 85 general practices managing the healthcare of nearly half a million people.
They cover Gisborne, Taranaki, Rotorua, Taupo-Turangi, Thames-Coromandel and the Waikato in supporting the day-to-day activity that takes place in general practice and wider community settings.
Helen will give us some insight into what’s happening on the ground within general practice, nurses, PPE and more.
With the profound changes happening in our society with working from home WFH, lockdowns and pandemics, Helen will also be able to provide, in some detail, what the future of health will look like.

Chief executive - Pinnacle MHN
Before moving to New Zealand in 2013 and joining Pinnacle MHN, Helen had a nursing, managerial and academic career in health care spanning 30 years. Most of that time was spent working in and around primary care including general practice ownership and the development of new service models and practice ownership.
Helen also worked at a national level as a senior fellow with the Health Services Management Centre, University of Birmingham and the Nuffield Trust contributing to the development and evaluation of health care policy.
Since joining Pinnacle MHN, Helen has been leading the strategic development, implementation and evaluation of the Health Care Home, supporting the development of primary care and community service models that embed technology to add value to experience and outcomes.
She also spent two years with the Pinnacle Ventures team working on the "what's next" element (i.e. the future) of primary care.
