Nelson Hospital was at 98 per cent occupancy in April. Davidsen said Nelson Hospital wasn’t under pressure, because the high level of occupancy was being managed as a backlog of elective procedures delayed by Covid was being worked through. “If the occupancy rate in the morning is very high, a team can still confidently prepare for elective surgeries planned for that afternoon knowing that the beds will be there when they are needed,” he said. ”Our planned care (elective surgery) teams are trying very hard to reschedule people’s procedures that had to be postponed during the 2020 lockdowns. Postponing planned care because of high occupancy rates is a last resort.”

Health Intervention Practitioner Dave Emerson says health clinicians integrated into general practices was proving a beneficial model of care that deals with wellbeing before patients need a higher level intervention.
A mental health care model piloted in the top of the south is settling in across Aotearoa, and a recent funding announcement will see the programme integrated into more general practices around the region. The Health Intervention Practitioner (HIP) service was piloted in Nelson and Marlborough during 2019, and has since seen specialised clinicians placed in all Marlborough practices, while Nelson has a number of clinics integrating the practitioners into their teams.
