Introducing Jenny Parr
Despite the English accent, I’m a local girl. I was raised in Papatoetoe, the heart of South Auckland and in my later years went to the Manukau Institute of Technology, where I trained as a nurse. When I graduated I really wanted to work at Middlemore Hospital, however at the time, there were no jobs. My plan B was to move to England, where I spent the past 22 years. During that time I’ve held a number of roles, which included executive leadership as Director of Nursing, Patient Experience, Infection Prevention & Control and Allied Health. My previous role at Waitemata DHB also had a key focus on quality systems and improvement, which I really enjoyed.
