Covid-19

If you are unwell with respiratory or Covid like symptoms please don’t come into the surgery without phoning first.  Our triage team will assess whether you require a face to face or telephone consultation.

If a face to face appointment is arranged you will be seen upstairs but we ask you to please wear a mask.  You will also be directed to a room to wait until the GP or nurse practitioner is ready to see you.

For COVID-19 health advice and information, contact the Healthline team (for free) on 0800 358 5453. , or visit https://covid19.govt.nz/
