It’s time for GPs, nurses, practice managers, pharmacists and friends of the primary healthcare industry to step up and be counted as heroes in our healthcare system.

Twenty-one awards categories cover pharmacy, general practice, primary care nursing, practice management, industry suppliers and key health outcomes that span the primary healthcare sector. With so much on offer, there’s a relevant category to enter for nearly any project, team or individual.

Most awards allow individual and group entries from primary care, as well as nominations from the health sector and the public. Two awards are by nomination only: The Outstanding contribution to health award for an individual whose career in primary healthcare has been stellar, and the Good sort award for someone whose work goes above and beyond.

Two lucky nominators will receive a ticket to the inaugural gala event on 29 February.

Now it’s time to get cracking – enter or nominate a primary healthcare star at nzphawards.co.nz/enter by 10 November.
