Celebrating Our Medical Centre Assistants

Behind every busy general practice is a team of people helping things run smoothly, safely, and with care.

At Raglan Medical, weโ€™re proud to acknowledge Teresa, Manaia and Tippy, our Medical Centre Assistants (MCAs), who play a vital role in supporting patients, whฤnau, nurses, doctors, and the wider clinic team every day.

Their role is varied and hands-on โ€” from preparing treatment rooms, checking equipment and supplies, and supporting clinical procedures, through to helping with observations, recalls, screening programmes, and patient information.

MCAs are also an important link between the clinical team and our community. Their work requires strong organisation, attention to detail, compassion, cultural awareness, and the ability to respond calmly when the day changes quickly.

Much of what they do happens behind the scenes, but it makes a real difference to the patient experience.

We are incredibly grateful for the skill, flexibility, and care our MCA team brings to Raglan Medical. Their contribution strengthens the whole practice and helps us continue providing responsive, community-focused healthcare for our local whฤnau.

Ngฤ mihi, Teresa, Manaia and Tippy.

Annual Winter Catch-Up

A huge thank you to Justin, Alex, and the team for their amazing hospitality and for opening outside their regular hours.

We are very grateful to Rebekah for providing this additional cover and contributing to the care of our people and community.

Thank you, Rebekah.

We understand that longer waiting times to see your preferred GP or Nurse Practitioner (NP) can be frustrating, and we acknowledge this isnโ€™t ideal. Weโ€™ve experienced increased demand across the practice and we want to reassure our community that we are actively working to improve access.

Patient safety remains our priority. While routine appointments may involve a wait, urgent health concerns are always assessed through our nurse triage system to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.

If you believe your issue is urgent, please call the clinic and ask to be added to the nurse triage list.

If you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency โ€” such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, or a serious accident โ€” please call 111 immediately.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Over the years, members of the Raglan Medical team have helped provide emergency medical response at Whฤingaroa Hoe (Regatta), supporting the kaupapa and helping ensure participants can enjoy the day safely.

Here are a few photos of our team in action at past events.

Waka ama is about more than sport โ€” it brings together movement, culture, and connection to each other and to Te Moana. Staying active in ways that strengthen both body and community reflects the values we hold as a practice, and we feel fortunate to have strong ties within this thriving kaupapa.

Kia ora Whฤingaroa,

Weโ€™re delighted to share that Dr Ilias will be returning to Raglan Medical as a GP from September 2026 through to March 2027.

Ilias previously worked at the clinic between 2016 and 2019, and weโ€™re thrilled to welcome him back. He and his wife, Femke, will be returning from the Netherlands with their two children, Mette and Teike, for a sevenโ€‘month stay in Aotearoa.

This visit will be especially meaningful for their whฤnau, as their daughter was born here in New Zealand. Raglan holds a special place in their hearts, and theyโ€™re looking forward to their children reconnecting with this beautiful part of the world.

Ilias is excited to reconnect with the practice, meet new patients, and catch up with familiar faces over the coming months.

Please join us in giving him a warm Whฤingaroa welcome ๐Ÿ‘‹

Recently, Mike, Adrian, Amy and Michelle attended the 21st WONCA World Rural Health Conference in Wellington โ€” a global gathering of rural and family medicine leaders.

It was a valuable opportunity to reconnect with colleagues including Fiona Bolden and Rebekah Doran, and to learn alongside practitioners from across Aotearoa and around the world.

We were especially proud to see kaumฤtua Russell Riki involved in the conference pลwhiri and presenting an award at the Gala Dinner โ€” a meaningful reflection of the strength and leadership of our local community on the international stage.

The kaupapa strongly reflects the future direction of rural healthcare here in Whฤingaroa and across Aotearoa.

The programme featured keynote speakers from New Zealand and overseas (including Sir Ashley Bloomfield), alongside panel discussions on health policy, Indigenous care, and innovation and technology in rural settings.

There were oral presentations, workshops, posters, case studies and powerful shared experiences from rural communities worldwide.

The Raglan Mountain Bike Club is a great example of communityโ€‘driven wellbeing in action. The development and maintenance of local trails creates opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, challenge themselves, and connect with the outdoors.

Weโ€™re proud to have team members contributing beyond the clinic โ€” with Mike Loten serving on the committee and helping to maintain, improve, and develop new tracks for the community to enjoy.

Healthy communities are built on movement, connection, and shared effort.
