We are proud to celebrate ! When we invest in women, we create more diverse teams, varied ideas, and expanded skillsets, knowledge, and experiences.

The global campaign theme for 2026, “Give To Gain”, encourages a mindset of generosity, collaboration, and supporting one another.

We are dedicated to upholding this mindset, with our many inspiring leaders and staff putting in the mahi every day to support our community and create a better healthcare environment for wāhine.

Here’s to our wāhine toa – may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.

We’re delighted to announce that Kaipara Medical Centre, one of ProCare’s Elevate practices, has been sold and settled on Friday 27 February 2026. This is an exciting continuation of our journey – supporting the transition of practice ownership to clinicians has been a core principle of our Elevate strategy.

In line with the Elevate vision, Kaipara Medical Centre has been sold to three established members of the Kaipara team, who will be stepping into practice ownership. Dr Tomos Longworth, Dr Kathryn Elcock, and Nurse Jo Reid have been working at Kaipara Medical for several years and have strong ties to the local community, as well as proven clinical and business expertise. We know their dedication and experience will continue to make a difference in the lives of the patients and communities we serve.

Bindi Norwell, Chief Executive at ProCare says: “The transition at Kaipara Medical Centre shows how thoughtful investment, support, and succession planning can lead to successful clinician ownership, while maintaining stability for patients, staff, and communities.”

Dr Tomos Longworth, GP at Kaipara Medical and incoming owner says: “Taking on ownership of Kaipara Medical Centre is a genuine privilege for us. This community means a great deal to our team, and we are committed to ensuring the practice continues to thrive as we provide consistent, compassionate, and reliable care to our patients. The support we’ve had through ProCare and the Elevate model has set us up well, and we look forward to leading the practice into its next chapter together.”

Congratulations to Tomos, Kathryn, and Jo. We look forward to supporting you in this next chapter and seeing Kaipara Medical Centre continue to thrive.

We advocate on behalf of our practices so they can stay focused on caring for their patients.

Last week, we submitted feedback to the Medical Council of New Zealand on its consultation to regulate Physician Assistants/Associates (PAs). We support the intent of the proposal, but we’ve taken a cautious view on how the role fits within primary care. While some PAs are working well in practices, we highlighted the need to understand the potential impact on the existing workforce.

Thank you to those who contributed to our submission. You can read it here: https://bit.ly/ProCare-PA-submission-2026

Primary care is entering a defining period – one shaped by workforce investment, digital innovation, and smarter funding decisions.

ProCare Group CEO, Bindi Norwell, outlines these shifts in her latest NZ Doctor OpEd, as well as what they mean for primary care in 2026 and beyond.

At ProCare, we believe the challenge isn’t just adapting to change – it’s leading it in a way that strengthens care for patients and supports those delivering it.

Today marks the start of the Lunar New Year. This year, we are celebrating the Year of the Horse!

In the zodiac calendar, the horse is associated with enthusiasm and tenacity. It is said that people born in the Year of the Horse are lively, confident, and adventurous.

One way you can take part in celebrations is to wear red when you're out and about, as the colour symbolises vitality, good fortune, and prosperity!

We’re helping practices get ready early for the 2026 flu season. Last year, our Network administered more than 190,000 flu vaccines, so securing them at a good price is key. By being part of the ProCare Network, practices get access to discounted vaccines, saving money while keeping their communities protected. A big thank‑you to Viatris, our partner on this deal for the past four years.

To help practices reach people eligible for the funded flu vaccine we also send out tailored reports to save time and help with outreach – one of the ways we support our Network to keep their communities well.

CareHQ, our virtual GP consultation service, has been hard at work supporting our Network of practices and ensuring that a GP appointment is never out of reach for their patients. Over the holiday period, CareHQ allowed patients to continue having easy access to a GP while practices were closed, providing virtual meetings at a discounted price.

Their integral support has continued into the New Year, with CareHQ now providing an offer that means our Network can provide patients with a discount code whenever they use CareHQ’s services.

This is just another way that ProCare continues to help our Network manage their workload and help patients access primary care in a timely manner.
