Jess Morgan-French brings a combination of healthcare-world fluency and business rigour to primary care practice management. With an MBA and a doctorate in health science from AUT — her thesis, Enablers of Māori Health Equity in Rural Primary Healthcare: Insights From Te Tai Tokerau, introduced the Equity Wave model through an in-depth study of rural Northland general practice — Jess pairs academic depth with years of hands-on experience inside the New Zealand health sector.

Jess specialises in the operational and strategic realities of running a modern practice and healthcare services, from financial sustainability and workforce planning to the systems and governance that underpin quality standards. She brings fractional-level strategic, financial, and data/digital expertise to organisations that need senior management capability without a full-time hire. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi leader and committed ally, she works to ensure equity sits at the centre of every engagement, not as an add-on, but as the foundation for stronger, more sustainable practices.
