Integration Team

Demonstrating its commitment for a-whole-of-system approach for the New Dunedin Hospital, WellSouth has a small team (1.5 FTE) working on a project to help avoid the NDH being at capacity on day one.

This isn’t about debating bed numbers or pointing fingers. It’s about identifying logical opportunities that back the sector to:
✔ Keep people well in their communities
✔ Avoid unnecessary hospital admissions
✔ Be funded fairly for the care they provide

The team includes Integration Manager, Primary and Community Services for New Dunedin Hospital, Nick Taylor, one part time clinical advisor, Lucia Magee, and support from Integration and Programme Director, Stuart Barson.
