About Me

Dr Martin Handley grew up in the UK and graduated from the University of Bristol in 2008. He came to New Zealand in 2010 for what was planned to be an 18-month working holiday but enjoyed it so much he ended up staying permanently. He spent the next 9 years working for Southern DHB, mostly as a surgical registrar, before making the decision to change to general practice in 2019 - joining Aurora Health Centre the following year. Martin lives locally with his wife and three young children, along with a herd of alpaca on their lifestyle block.
