Grace joined our practice from the UK on 5 September 2016. She was attracted to work in New Zealand based on her impressions of New Zealand culture and the opportunities for outdoor activities.

The Doctors Te Whare Hapara provides her with this opportunity, being a General Practice whose values are based on whanau ora concepts. Grace joins us for at least 2 years and we will most certainly be supporting her to stay longer. She has experience across all specialisations with a particular interest in mental health, gynaecology and minor surgery.
