English

Vanessa is a nurse at Tend Harewood with over 20 years of experience in general practice. She was drawn to practice nursing for the opportunity to build strong, personalised relationships with patients and enjoys the variety and ongoing challenges that primary care offers.

Vanessa has a broad interest in all areas of primary health, with particular focus on women’s health, sexual health, acute care and travel medicine.

In her spare time she enjoys spending time outdoors and keeping up with the busy schedules of her three children, especially their sports. She also values time with family and friends and enjoys being part of the supportive team at Tend Harewood.

I love the variety of general practice and the chance to build genuine, long-term relationships with patients and their whānau.
