Innovative and forward-thinking, the Kaipara Medical Centre has been owned by ProCare since 1 December 2019.
Our practice team includes a combination of doctors and nurse practitioners, along with a team of nurses and dedicated administration staff, all working together to ensure our service to our patients is delivered as promptly and professionally as possible.
Continuity of care is concerned with quality of care over time. It is the process by which the patient and his/her/their physician led team are cooperatively involved in ongoing health care management toward the shared goal of high quality, cost effective medical care. It Is facilitated by a physician led, team-based approach to health care reducing fragmentation and therefore improving patient safety and quality of care.
Kaipara Medical Centre supports the concept of continuity of care and supports the role of General Practitioners in providing continuity of care to their patients in all settings, both directly and by coordination of care with the health care team and other health care professionals.
Our GPs are supported by our highly skilled nurses and our professional and friendly reception team. Our nurses also offer special clinics in their chosen areas of expertise, including smear tests, asthma management, immunisations and travel vaccines.

Trish Hammond
Community Pharmacist
More...
Kia Ora my name is Trish Hammond and I live in the Waiwera Valley with my husband and our 5 beautiful young boys. I registered as a pharmacist in 2006 and after having gained experience in hospital and community pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry, I realised my passion is in Clinical Pharmacy and for much of my career I have worked in the hospital setting. I completed a Post-graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy in 2012 and have also had the privilege of contributing to the undergraduate and post-graduate pharmacy programmes at Otago and Auckland Universities. I thoroughly enjoy meeting with patients, and I feel it is always important to make the goals and concerns of our patients my priority, working together with the wider interdisciplinary team to optimise the medications and short- and long-term health outcomes of our patients.
