Our people

We have a small team, focused on proving a specialist Huntington's clinic, coordinating pharmaceutical trials, and conducting novel scientific research.

The Huntington’s disease clinic for Waitaha Canterbury patients, runs regularly throughout the year with Prof Tim Anderson/Dr Campbell Le Heron and the Huntington’s Disease Service Coordinator for Waitaha Canterbury, Rochelle Kingi.

To access the Huntington’s Disease Clinic, a referral from a GP, a medical specialist or the Huntington’s Disease Service Coordinator is required. Following this, any further appointments can be made by contacting Rochelle Kingi.
