Our impact
Pegasus Health plays a unique enabling role in primary care, connecting services, people, and information to make the health system work better for practices, patients, and communities.
Our scale, experience, and credibility mean we can deliver proven, practical solutions that both strengthen general practice and support system-wide outcomes.
Enabling general practice to deliver community wellbeing
Pegasus Health strengthens general practice by delivering locally responsive support that improves clinical quality, workforce resilience, and equity of care—helping practices thrive while advancing national health priorities.
We enable smarter system solutions, reduce pressure on secondary services, and provide services, clinical leadership, and workforce development initiatives that empower general practice teams to deliver healthcare focused on keeping people well.
Enabling better care across the system
Pegasus Health connects services, people, and information to strengthen general practice and improve outcomes across the health system. From proven models of care to innovative digital tools, our enabling work makes healthcare safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.
Smarter, safer information sharing
Through HealthOne and ERMS, Pegasus has helped build the digital backbone of Waitaha Canterbury’s health system. HealthOne gives clinicians secure access to key health information, supporting faster and safer care. ERMS streamlines referral management, easing pressure on general practice and improving communication across the system.
Building capability and connection
Our Clinical Connect education programme continues to build the capability of general practice teams, providing evidence-based peer learning that directly improves care. These programmes, grounded in the daily realities of practice, strengthen clinical leadership and ensure general practice remains the centre of a connected system.
Proven models of care
The 24 Hour Surgery and Acute Demand Management Service are nationally recognised examples of what can be achieved when general practice is resourced and trusted. Both reduce unnecessary hospital presentations, keep people well in their community, and stand as proof that clinically led innovation can deliver sustainable solutions for the whole country.
Accelerating innovation
Through the Health Accelerator and our collaboration with other large PHOs via the N4 network, Pegasus is creating the conditions for new models of care and technologies to be tested, scaled, and implemented in general practice. This work ensures promising solutions can move quickly from concept to practice, benefiting practice teams, patients and the health system.
A trusted voice
Pegasus brings the voice of general practice into the rooms where decisions are made. Our people contribute nationally through the New Zealand Clinical Senate, PSAAP working groups (System Level Measures, Enhanced Capitation, and Practice Workforce), and leadership roles across GPNZ, including the Executive, Nursing, Data and Digital, Māori Rōpū, and Finance and Risk groups. We are also active members of Collaborative Aotearoa, with Pegasus staff serving on both governance and advisory committees.
Our CE represents general practice on the Primary Care Dataset Governance Group, while our Board, staff, and practice teams regularly engage with Ministers, the Health NZ Board, and senior Health NZ executives.
These roles strengthen Pegasus’ ability to influence health policy, be a voice for general practice, and ensure decisions are grounded in frontline experience and clinical expertise.
