Corporate profile - Rebekah Longstaffe Auckland/Northland Territory Manager
I Graduated from AUT School of Physiotherapy in 2000 with a BHSc (Physio). After travelling for a few months and a very short stint in the public system, I began working in a Musculoskeletal private practice, running all clinical and administration systems for a busy Physiotherapy practice within a multi practitioner medical centre.
In late 2001 I moved to join a Physiotherapy franchise network as staff Physiotherapist, and took on a newly created Operations Management position in 2005 after completing Business studies majoring in human resource management. I have since divided my time between the clinical and management roles.
Outside of work, I am a keen runner (half marathon distance predominantly) and really enjoy getting out and about around the country for all sorts of running events. I'm also a foodie (made possible by running) and I'm prone to succumbing to my sweet tooth! I'm delighted to join the Nutricia team. It's a huge change of role and responsibility and I'm excited about building relationships and making a positive contribution. |

We will also be discontinuing Nutrison and Nutrison Multi Fibre
500ml glass bottle
We expect Nutrison to run out around mid March and Nutrison Multi Fibre towards the end of April.
Therefore please transfer patients across to the pack format of these products:

|
NUT65847 |
Nutrison Multi Fibre 1000ml pack |

We are discontinuing these product formats due to:
- The low and reducing volume usage that has lead to an uneconomical situation
- A global move away from glass packaging (due to 'no glass policies' upheld in hospitals)
- A 500ml pack of both products is already available and funded in New Zealand, which offers greater safety in terms of contamination prevention and ease of use.

New Multi Lingual Labeling
New look 'multilingual' labels are being introduced from April 2010 for the following products
- Duocal
- Monogen
- Kindergen
- Generaid Plus
These 'multilingual' labels mean they will now include the nutritional information in a few languages and will look slightly different. There will however be no change in the product composition or nutritional value. |
