Jo Brown & Kaylene Henderson are both prescribing nurses, a first for Wintec Health Service
Wintec Health Services in Hamilton is now home to two nurse prescribers, as nurse Jo Brown has recently become a designated registered nurse prescriber in community health (designated RNPCH).
Brown was in the first cohort of nurses to gain the new qualification under the Midland Collaborative designated RNPCH recertification programme. Wintec Health is part of Pinnacle, and Brown is the seventh Pinnacle nurse and first Waikato Pinnacle nurse to achieve this qualification.
The one-year recertification programme is open to all registered nurses working in community settings, and it provides them with education and training to manage care for ‘normally healthy people’ who might be presenting with symptoms for common infections and other minor ailments.

ADVICE: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES - AND FOR OTHERS How do we teach our kids to want to be the kind of person whose actions are courageous, kind, fair and just? Studies show 87 per cent of the time bystanders are present in cases of bullying and harm, which means bystander intervention is crucial in disrupting the cycle. Essentially, bullying is a problem we all need to work to solve as a community and we need to teach our kids to have the courage to care for others in day-to-day life. So, don t just teach your kids what to do if they are bullied themselves. It is imperative as a loving community that we teach our kids to stand up for others too, in a safe, courageous and assertive way. Support them to help change Australia s cultural acceptance of bullying and give them the power to say something!
