This is a very familiar Wairarapa face - Gabe Wickens, Wairarapa Hospital's Orderly and Security Supervisior... and now we are very excited to announce his new and additional role as he joins the Quality team as our Emergency Preparedness Coordinator.

Gabe has a wealth of experience in health systems, processes, equipment and dealing with challenging incidents and emergency response. He knows and understands our community well.

Gabe has started in his new role and is excited to help ensure the DHB is as resilient as possible. There is valuable cross over in the two roles – no one quite knows the hospital inside out like the Orderlies. Gabe's calm and professional demeanour from many years of experience dealing with emergency situations will be an asset when wearing his 'new hat.'

When he isn't working with us, Gabe is usually underwater as a member of the Wairarapa underwater club.
