It has been another busy and at times difficult year for you all and we hope you are now focused on enjoying well-deserved breaks over the holiday season, filled with friends, family and much relaxation.

We’ll still be here to support your needs across the holiday season, with limited staffing from 24^th December 2022 and full availability from 9^th January 2023, so do keep those queries coming in as you need. Email us at business@mas.co.nz or call 0800 800 627 during usual business hours.

Happy Holidays everyone from Shaun, Fiona, Chris, Bryce, and Bonnie.

It is important to focus on what we can change – how we can make small adjustments to support staff, reduce avoidable stress and keep the practice functioning well. own.

2026 Off to a Flying Start

As we lament the end of the holidays and ask ourselves where has summer gone?!, we’re also looking ahead to another busy year — particularly given the volume of legislative change expected in 2026 (more on this below). We’re pleased to welcome Emma Wasson to the Healthy Practice team, who joined us in January in the newly created role of HR Coordinator-Healthy Practice. Emma will be focused on supporting our HealthyPractice Advisers and strengthening the resources available to you. She’ll also be involved in developing our annual reports, including the staff-ratio and GP remuneration reports, due out early this year.
