Help us welcome our new nurse, Amy!
Amy is a very experienced Registered Nurse, coming to us from Christchurch Hospital.
We are looking forward to meeting her cute Golden Cocker Spaniel Toby, who loves to paddleboard, go boating, fishing and for runs and walks with Amy! 🐕

Kia ora to our new GP, Dr Alireza Hamidi!

Dr Hamidi was born in Iran and has lived in England and Canada, and more recently has been living and working as a GP in a rural setting above the Polar Circle in Sweden.

He is sports mad and thoroughly enjoys hiking and skiing. I'm sure we all agree he's going to thrive in Mid Canterbury!

A very warm Ashburton welcome!

Nostrils feeling like they have on and off switches? We’ve been there! There are things you can do to help minimise some common allergic reactions:

🧹 regular cleaning and improved ventilation at home

🌻 avoid certain plants and limit time outdoors when pollen is high

🐶 keep pets outside if possible

🫧 avoid strong soaps, perfumes, and chemicals

🦟 wear shoes, long pants and shirts, and use insect repellent to avoid bites.

If you’re at risk of anaphylaxis, always carry an EpiPen and wear a medical bracelet or necklace that tells others what you’re allergic to.
