Phil Jamieson says his journey through the healthcare system with his daughter, Lucy, 17, was his motivation for joining Waitaki District Health Services as its new chief executive officer. A dad’s struggle to navigate New Zealand healthcare system with his daughter has inspired him to leave his life as a banker and help change it, from the inside. Jamieson has developed an intimate knowledge of the healthcare system through Lucy,17, who was left paraplegic after an accident four years ago. “Navigating the healthcare sector has given me a personal motivation to contribute to moving the healthcare system forward,” he said. Waitaki District Health Services is contacted by the Southern District Health Board to provide health services in Oamaru.
