Two new NCSP appointments

The National Screening Unit (NSU) welcomes two new appointments to the National Cervical Screening Programme (NCSP).
Helen Colebrook has been appointed manager of the NCSP. She has worked in the Ministry of Health’s ethics and public health teams.
Previously, Helen had roles at the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners, the Health and Disability Commissioner and the Law Commission. She is looking forward to working alongside the sector to progress the programme.
And Jo Rae has joined NCSP as a senior analyst service development.
Jo was a physiotherapist for 15 years. She joined ACC in 2012, where she worked in health procurement as part of the clinical review team and then as a category manager, looking after ACC’s acute funding to district health boards.
Jo will be working with her team on a variety of NCSP service development improvement initiatives.
