Nurse Team Leader

Rachel - Nurse Team Leader

I obtained my nursing degree at ChCh polytechnic in 2006 and since then have gone on to complete my post graduate diploma in health science focusing on Primary Healthcare.

I started working at Piki Te Ora at the beginning of 2008.

My special interests are policy and procedures and Information Technology. My clinical interests are assessment of the acutely unwell and also Women’s Health.

I live in North Canterbury but love working in the Linwood community. On my days off, I spend as much time as possible with my family. I love getting in the garden, walking and swimming.
