RNcP MN (Hons), Clinical Nurse Specialist in Bariatrics
Tiaki (care) Whaiaro (self) is the philosophy behind Kate's work with patients who need support with their weight management goals.
She is Aotearoa-New Zealand’s most experienced Metabolic Bariatric Nurse Specialist (weight loss surgery), and now also works with increasing numbers of patients using medications (GLP-1s etc) for weight management.
Her consultations are built around your unique needs and experiences. The goal is to empower and guide you to find and develop mental and emotional self-care strategies so you can better manage your weight long-term.

Once you have a referral from Kate, they will work with you via telehealth (video) on a prescription, educate you on using the medication, and provide the immediate support you'll need to manage side effects.
Nurse practitioners (mātanga tapuhi) have advanced education, clinical training and the demonstrated competence and legal authority to prescribe medications.
