Wendy McPhillips qualified in 2024 as a Nurse Practitioner, after working as a designated Nurse Prescriber in PHC since 2021.

She has a long history in healthcare, initially working as a clinical pharmacy technician before making the switch to nursing, graduating as an RN in 2017.

Wendy has a keen interest in both women's health and chronic disease management, considering them among her favorite areas of practice.

She finds immense satisfaction in the educational aspect and health promotion involved in addressing the complexities of chronic care. Additionally, Wendy recognises that women's health is an underserved area and regularly engages in conversations about perimenopause and menopause with her patients.

Outside of her professional life, Wendy treasures spending time with friends and whānau. Going on bushwalks, traveling, and surrounding herself with the beauty of nature.

I love the education and health promotion that is involved in health complexity within chronic care, women's health is an underserved area and I have a conversation with women about perimenopause and menopause almost daily.
