Pauline is an online GP at Tend with a background in urgent care and surgery, and is now a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. With years of experience working in paediatrics across Singapore and the UK, she brings a versatile and thoughtful approach to primary care.

Her interests include urgent care, paediatrics, minor procedures, and the evolving role of technology in medicine. She thrives in environments that require quick decision-making and enjoys the variety that general practice offers. Pauline is passionate about problem-solving and patient connection.

Outside of work, Pauline enjoys a busy family life with her husband, two teenagers, three dogs and a cat. Her family loves to travel and take their caravan on adventures whenever possible.

I particularly enjoy solving problems and helping others. I like connecting with people. I believe the quote by Hippocrates, "Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always."
