Ostend Medical Centre

We have been incredibly fortunate at Ostend Medical to have hosted Naomi and Luke from the University of Sunderland for their international GP training placement over the past month.

Luke and Naomi joined us as medical students, but were officially Register Doctors by the end of their placement and are now returning to the UK to start their careers in the NHS.

Not only did they do an incredible job working with Ostend Medical's patients, they spent valuable time out in the community with the healthcare providers from Waiheke Health Trust, Well Child Waiheke Health Trust and Piritahi Hau Ora.

We loved hosting them and are thrilled that their time with us cemented their desire to work as GPs in rural health and their wish to someday return to our beautiful island.

Mā te wā Naomi and Luke!

Ostend Medical Centre was thrilled to host TeAniwa (Registered Nurse) and Catherine (Health Promoter) from Well Women and Family Trust for today's pop-up cervical screening clinic.

We loved being able to provide this convenient, private service for our Waiheke women, regardless of what clinic they are registered at. If you joined us today, well done looking after yourself - you're a legend! 🩷🩷🩷

What's the best gift you can give your family this Mother's Day? The certainty that you are looking after your health and yourself!

To make it easy, Ostend Medical Centre is partnering with Well Women and Family Trust to offer a painless and private cervical screening clinic for island women on Saturday 16 May. The clinic is open to anyone on the island, regardless of which GP practice you attend.

About 180 people are diagnosed with cervical cancer in NZ each year and 85% of them haven't been screened or have let too much time slide between tests. Make a promise to yourself and your loved ones to book an appointment today that could save your life. Details below!

One of the services that Ostend Medical Centre and Waiheke Health Trust provide is monthly community clinics for our patients at WISH TRUST Waiheke Island Supported Homes Trust and the Waiheke Retirement Village.

Erica and Ani headed off to the retirement village this morning with all their gear in tow and a full morning of patient appointments planned. What a day for it!

As always, thanks to the incredible Waiheke Tennis Club for making sure that our team always arrive in style in our fully funded fleet.

What do we love at Ostend Medical Centre? Happy Waiheke Island patients!

Thank you so much to the lovely patient who provided this feedback. We couldn't agree more that the island is a better place to live and to thrive thanks to Dr Dawn and Dr Zoe!

The team at Ostend Medical were really touched to receive this beautiful drawing of a huia feather from the fabulous duo of Allan and Lis from ProCare.

The drawing celebrates ProCare's 30 years of supporting primary care in Aotearoa New Zealand. We feel the love from them everyday and feel really fortunate to be a part of the whānau.

We know that our Nurse Practitioner Erica is an absolute legend and love it when our patients take the time to say the same! Thank you, Erica, for being such a skilled and empathetic clinician and a fantastic colleague as well. ❤️

Waiheke Health Trust - healthcare by locals, for locals. Driven by community, not by profit.

Things can sneak up when you're on island time, so a gentle reminder to our patients that Ostend Medical Centre will be closed on Auckland Anniversary Day and Waitangi Day.

Please make sure that you're up to date with your prescriptions so that you don't get caught short over the long weekends!

We were SO proud to get this beautiful feedback today from a new patient!

When you register with Ostend Medical Centre, one of our wonderful nurses - like Barbara - completes a full, in-person health check with you to make sure that your first visit with the doctor is as efficient and effective as possible.

We think it's a great system, and are so glad that new patients really see the value, also!
