Dr Kim Bannister has worked at Mairangi Medical Centre since 1982 - he was the first GP registrar in 1981! Over the years Kim has held roles with the College of GPs and ProCare PHO, and currently he has a part-time appointment with the Waitemata District Health Board, where he works as a GP advisor. Kim thinks that the best thing about his job as a GP has been the chance to share parts of his patients’ lives, in some cases over several decades. He is currently available for consulting 3 days per week.

Speaks Spanish Dr Anna Gruchy (our most recent Anna!) has been in New Zealand since arriving from the UK in 2005. She met her husband-to-be (a NZ surgeon) and decided to stay! She completed medical school in Nottingham UK, and finished her training in general practice in New Zealand in 2007, soon after gaining Fellowship of the Royal NZ College of GPs.
