Harley Aish started his professional career as a General Practitioner in Otara, South Auckland, in 1997, and still consults with patients most weeks. After two years, he was invited to leadership roles in Health Governance, followed 13 years later with an invitation to move into Financial Services (MAS). His experience includes governing "not for profit" organisations, listed "for profit" organisations, crown entities, collective negotiating teams, and charitable organisations.
Being in the Health sector for 30 years, he has seen three health reforms, and multiple tweaks, giving him an appreciation for well led and managed transformation. In this time, he has observed Information Technology moving from basic writing and health notes, to AI assisted scribes, decision support, real time form submission, and referrals going from fax to e-referrals, for which he was on the advisory committee. Harley has in later years added teaching in General Practice to his portfolio, for both General Practice Registrars, as well as in-training Nurse Practitioners.
