Living Well
Introduction
We are focussing on work
programmes that support access
to care in the community that
enable whānau to Live Well,
and on supporting our partner
practices in delivering services
to their enrolled patients at a
time when issues with funding
and workforce continue to
threaten their sustainability.
The Partnership Services
Team offer support to general
practice around compliance
with Foundation Standards, PMS
support, contract reporting,
providing clinical, operational
and sector updates, and funding
for priority groups such as LongActing Reversible Contraceptives
(LARC), cervical screening and
through the Primary Options
Acute Demand Management
Service.

Comprehensive
Primary and
Community Teams
This year additional funding
for frontline clinical roles to
increase capacity within general
practice was made available
through the Comprehensive
Primary and Community Teams
(CPCT) initiative. These roles
which include kaiāwhina,
physiotherapists, pharmacists,
care coordinators, and extended
care paramedics will sit within
the primary care general practice
setting, improving access to care
in the community, with a focus on
priority groups and patients with
complex needs.
Work has started recruiting for
a variety of roles and bespoke
training plans are being developed
to meet varying Models of Care.
To date, 8 roles (4.27 FTE) have
been recruited across 7 general
practices and we hope to have a
total of 17 FTE in place across 24
practices by the end of the next
昀椀nancial year.
We are excited to be part of
this programme which offers
opportunities to develop new
models of care and expand on
existing ones, to reduce the
demand on traditional care
pathways. Mahitahi Hauora is
supporting the enablement of
the programme, which is funded
until 30 June 2025, across all
participating general practices in
Tai Tokerau.
