Position:
HIP trainer
My name is Laura Thompson, and I am a health improvement practitioner (HIP) and HIP trainer. I am a health psychologist and have worked in primary mental health since graduating in early 2019, where I became a HIP that same year. I find working as a HIP exceptionally rewarding - both in helping people one-on-one and in contributing to population level and preventative care. This passion for primary care behavioural health led me to become a HIP trainer in late 2020. I thrive on conducting training, mentoring trainees, and seeing them flourish as HIPs in practices across Aotearoa.
