Dr Fiona Rorrison is a co-owner of The Village Medical Centre, which she founded alongside Dr Laura Brown in 2021. Their vision was to create a small, welcoming general practice built around excellent clinical care with a personalised, patient-centred approach.
Dr Rorrison graduated from the University of Glasgow and brings more than 30 years of experience in General Practice. She enjoys all aspects of medicine and values the variety, challenge, and human connection that each day in practice brings. She has particular interests in mental health and the management of chronic health conditions.
Dr Rorrison strongly believes that continuity of care leads to the best health outcomes. By truly knowing her patients and building relationships she is able to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and individualised care.
She is incredibly proud of what the team at The Village has created. Together, they have built a practice where patients feel genuinely known, supported, and valued as individuals.
Outside of medicine, Fiona treasures time spent with her family, loves living in Queenstown and making the most of everything Central Otago has to offer.

Laura grew up in Southland and graduated from Otago University in 2005. She spent a few years in Auckland and Christchurch City Hospitals before moving to General Practice in 2012 and to Queenstown in 2017.
Laura enjoys all aspects of family medicine. She has completed extra training in child health and has a personal interest in women’s health.
Laura is especially excited about starting up a new practice to provide a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment. A place where you can feel comfortable seeking help. Where patients are invited to come and be an active part of the journey towards better health.
The traditional GP model in the sense of familiarity – knowing your doctor, nurse and receptionist – is where it’s at according to Laura. Excellent service means providing continuity of care and patient inclusiveness with communication between the practice and patients being paramount.
Outside of work Laura enjoys time with her wonderful family, getting out and about in the outdoors, skiing, biking and camping. She especially enjoys mountain biking, running, and the odd adventure race.
