Patient groups we supported in 2009

Harbour Health

Harbour Health covers an extensive geographical area from Devonport, which is part of North Shore City, north to Warkworth in the Rodney District. Practices are located in both urban and rural settings. They cover the spectrum of general practices, ie from a solo practitioner to a large group medical centre that provides accident and medical services, as well as specialist and other allied medical professional services.

Harbour Health has also developed innovative clinical systems which include a systematic approach to Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes and Respiratory Disease. As a result of these innovations, Harbour Health will make available IT tools to assist General Practice in the population health data management, screening, risk assessment, care management and patient self management. This system of care also assists with integration between General Practice, NGOs and Allied Health providers in the community.

In 2009: GSK donated $3,500 to Harbour Health to help support the promotion of the Asthma GASP Tool to delegates attending the GPCME meeting in Rotorua.
