FACE TO FACE CONSULTATIONS |
When wanting to book for a face to face consultation please consider any flu/cold symptoms you may have. It is important to let reception know so they can help you accordingly.
Although we would love to see you in the practice you would be endangering our staff and patients if you present at Orewa Medical Centre.
Alternatively, reception are able to offer you a phone or video consultation with your GP.
Please be aware, that if you arrive into the practice, reception may ask if you have a sore throat, fever, shortness of breath or cough. This is to make sure everyone can be managed safely and effectively.
Don't forget to wear your masks into the practice and sanitize regularly. If you do not have a mask reception can provide you with one.

NURSES PAY PARITY STRIKE |
Thousands of nurses working at Medical Centres across New Zealand are to partake in strike today in a plea for an equal pay as hospital nurses.
This means that most of our nurses will not be in today as they participate.
Please be mindful whilst booking nurses appointments today as we will be short staffed.
Our nurses will be back in tomorrow so if you consider your appointment as non urgent they will be happy to see you then or next week.
Have a good day!
I am sorry that they are forced to take this kind of action to get what they deserve. Money is thrown at sportsmen and actors and these wonderful, overworked, caring people are paid a pittance.
We stand with you lovely ladies. Thank you for all you do. 💜💜
All the best to the nurses...
REMINDER | Our consultation prices will be increasing from the 7th of September.
With the increase in running costs of the practice, unfortunately comes the time we have to increase our charges. This is only the second time in 10 years though so we have tried to absorb as best we can for as long as we could.
As of the 7th of September the following changes for enrolled patients will be applied:
0-13 years - free
14-17 years - $40.00
18-24 years - $45.50
25 years and over - $52.50
Please note that the prices for Community Service Cardholders will remain $19.50 for 18yrs+ and $13.00 for 14-17 year olds.
Fees apply to all consultation types: Face-to-face, Telephone and Video Consultations.
We appreciate that this may be a difficult time and we are aiming to keep our fees affordable at the same time as covering our ever increasing costs.
