Te Tumu Waiora is a new way of delivering wellbeing, mental health and addictions support through general practice. It gives you quick and convenient access to health professionals who can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
If you’re visiting your nurse or GP, they can introduce you to Sarah
and Carley
a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) or Health Coach (HC) who work as part of the general practice team.
This means you’ll get support quickly, in the same location as your doctor or nurse appointments, at no additional cost to you.
The Te Tumu Waiora model is being implemented nationwide. Linwood Medical Centre is proud to be one of the early adopters of this exciting initiative which will see new HIPs and Health Coaches available within our practice.
