Position:
HIP trainer
Genevieve is a health improvement practitioner working for WellSouth Primary Health Network based in Dunedin. She is a registered Occupational Therapist and has worked in a variety of mental health settings since graduating in 2010. She has worked in the primary mental health setting since 2019.
Working as a health improvement practitioner, and more recently as a HIP trainer has easily been the most satisfying and rewarding job Genevieve has held. She loves being a part of the general practice team and being there for people when they need it most. The variety and fast pace of the work means her day is fulfilling and satisfying, as many people have been helped and have felt supported by their clinic.
As part of the trainer’s team she has thoroughly enjoyed connecting with and supporting new HIPs as they enter this exciting new workforce. She feels privileged to work alongside some amazing people who share the same passion for primary care behavioural health as her.
