For many of our patients, our nurses are the first point of contact for information and guidance about their health.
Consultations will incur a fee.
Clinical Nurse Manager
Anne McDonald
I am a Registered Nurse with experience at Southland Hospital and in the United Kingdom. The nursing I enjoy most is in Primary Health in the General Practice setting where I have worked for the past 22 years. The aspect I enjoy most is the wide variety the General Practice has to offer and the collegiality and support of a team working towards improving the health of its population.
I have a Post Graduate certificate in Health Science (Professional Practice) and I continue to update my knowledge through regular study.
I am married with 3 grown daughters and 4 grandchildren.
When money and time allows I enjoy travelling to visit my family and to experience new cultures and destinations, otherwise I enjoy time with friends and daily exercise for fitness and enjoyment.

Sara Corbin
I’m part of the nursing team at Waihopai Health Services. We’re responsible for a range of frontline and follow-up services for our patients. I’ve been working on creating closer links between our practice and other health professionals in our community.
I have a background in aged care and was part of the team at Vickery Court. I am a born and bred Southlander completing My Bachelor of Nursing degree at The Southern Institute of Technology.
In my free time I garden, draw and ride horses. I have recently returned to dancing, which I studied for 11 years.
Pam Meredith
Pam is our Enrolled Nurse. A support nurse for whoever needs help. Often found assisting with minor surgery or removing your sutures post surgery. Checking your observations and doing ECG’s. She may be called to chaperone and is often informing you of what you have overdue. If you haven’t had your flu vaccine she will be looking for you to protect you for the upcoming winters.
Occasionally she will be found in reception to allow the receptionists time to have their meetings. She will be ordering stock, setting up the rooms and sending out letters to you.
