Tend Pakuranga clinic
We imagine a future where our tamariki and whānau have access to world-class healthcare in Aotearoa, supported by a workforce that uses globally leading systems and technology.
‍

Built by Kiwis for Kiwis

Our vision is to build a better healthcare experience that provides accessible, equitable, and smart primary care designed around your patients and their whānau.  

We bring new technology and a distinctive model of care that has been designed to solve some of the pressures faced in the healthcare system by both clinicians and patients. A model where all the dots in healthcare are connected, from routine check ups to specialist referrals. 

This all reduces the burden ensuring clinicians have the time to actually tend to patients and provide care that meets their needs.

We’re committed to addressing the inequities in access for Māori and underserved communities, such as LGBTQI+ and those living remotely, by providing care that is convenient and accessible through the Tend platform and in our clinics.

Better Health Group

In 2024, we acquired a majority stake in Better Health Group, which operates 17 medical centres in the South Island serving over 90,000 patients. This acquisition positions us as a leading healthcare provider in New Zealand, with a total patient base exceeding 130,000 across its network of practices. Over time, we plan to integrate our operations with Better Health Group to enhance service delivery and patient care.

Four steps to a smooth integration 

1. Get to know each other in person
Let's get together in person at your practice and get to know your practice, your team and your patient community.  We can discuss your goals and share our vision. Email us at letstalk@tend.nz
2. Indicative offer and letter of intent
If our goals are aligned, we will request documents to help us put together an indicative estimate. We will also prepare a letter of intent that records key points in the transaction such as purchase price and suggested timing of the transaction and subsequent integration.   
3. Purchase agreement
If agreed, we will prepare a purchase agreement. Prior to putting together this agreement we may require more documentation and further site visits.

4. Clinic handover and integration
Execution of the purchase agreement occurs when all parties have signed. From this point we will plan the clinic handover and integration into Tend based on agreed timings. We have a dedicated integration team who will step through the handover process with you.
