Farewell Dr. Michael Courtenay

It is with both sadness and humble appreciation to announce the resignation of Dr. Michael 'Mike' Courtenay. Dr Mike joined the Ōrākei Health team in 2018 as a General Practitioner going on to become the Clinical Lead in 2020, Dr. Mike's contribution particularly through the COVID-19 Pandemic and other health challenges has been immeasurable. In addition, we acknowledge his role and influence in taking GP Registrars and Medical students under his wing, to aid in their studies and ultimately nurture the next generation of General Practitioners. Pīki mihi kia koe Dr. Mike! Thank you for all your mahi and dedication. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Ōrākei Health will host an afternoon tea on Tuesday 18th June 2024, 1pm – 2pm being his last day with us.
