Riverside Medical co-founders Javier and Chantelle Stroud join the show

Riverside Medical opens in Lower Hutt this August, it's the dream of Javier and Chantelle Stroud who saw a gap in GP access that needed fixing. Dr Javier Stroud is the lead GP of the practice and along with his wife Chantelle, who is a lawyer, are accepting patient enrolments now and gearing up to open in August. The Strouds join Nick Mills to discuss their new venture and why the Hutt? Chantelle says the Hutt Valley is in one of New Zealand's GP "red zones", ranking among the worst areas in the country for access to general practitioners. And more than 13,000 residents are still not enrolled with a GP. They share the struggles of keeping GPs in New Zealand, and how technology is advancing the medical field and their own productivity.
