About
Dr John Hyndman is a retired Specialist Anaesthetist, award-winning medical innovator, and proud Marlborough resident with a long record of service to his community.
He was recognised in 2016 as NZ Innovator of the Year and appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for developing a low-cost anaesthesia machine used in developing countries.
John brings decades of medical and governance experience to the table. He served for many years at Wairau Hospital and was instrumental in establishing the Churchill private hospital and Hospice Marlborough.
He also chaired the Marlborough Health Trust and now co-directs a medical immigration business helping bring overseas doctors and nurses to New Zealand.
Dr Hyndman recently moved to his new home in Picton and is standing to bring a calm, constructive voice to the council chamber.
“After a career in medicine and running businesses, I know how important it is to be organised, take responsibility, and focus on outcomes. That’s how councils should operate too."
