February is Heart Health Month — a great time to give a bit of extra thought to your heart. The everyday choices you make around food and movement can have a real and lasting impact on your overall health.

Opting for foods lower in salt and saturated fat, and finding simple ways to be a bit more active, are practical steps you can take to look after your heart.

If making these changes feels a bit daunting, have a chat with your GP about how our Health Coach, Sanne, can support you to get started and stay on track.

As summer draws to a close, you might notice worries creeping in or your mood feeling a little lower than usual.

If the change of season is affecting how you’re feeling, our Health Improvement Practitioners, Fiona and Saskia, are here to support you and help you find practical ways to get back on track.

If you’re interested in this service, please ask your nurse or GP.

February is Heart Health Month! ❤

We’re all about looking after your heart and keeping it ticking along nicely — but do you know your own heart risk?

It only takes a few minutes to check at myheartcheck.org.nz. It’s quick, easy, and could make all the difference.

Why not have a go and share it with your whānau too? Looking after our hearts is something we can all do together.

Help us to ensure there are no unnecessary delays.

PLEASE
Don’t leave it till you’ve run out of your meds.

REMEMBER
Make sure you request a repeat at least 1–2 weeks in advance so there’s enough time to sort it. It makes things much smoother for everyone.

KEEP IN MIND
If you didn’t see your doctor when you last ordered a prescription repeat, you’ll likely need to book an appointment this time around.

Thank you! 🙏

At this stage, Orewa Medical Centre is not able to offer adult ADHD assessments, as we do not currently have the staffing or resources to provide these safely. We may be able to offer this service in the future and will update patients if this changes.

Please note:
• ADHD assessments for children remain unchanged.
• If you already have an ADHD diagnosis, there is no change to your care — please continue to see your GP for ongoing treatment and follow-up.

While the 1st of February brought the possibility of prescribing some medications for up to 12 months, we have to take into account that a 12-month prescription is not suitable for everyone.

If you think you can benefit from it, please wait until your medication review is due before booking an appointment to discuss it.

Remember, if you take multiple medications, a controlled drug, or medicines that need regular monitoring, a shorter period may be more appropriate.

You probably check the forecast so you don’t get caught in the rain — but do you check it to dodge sunburn?

In Aotearoa, the UV can be quite high, even on cloudy days. If the UV Index is over 3, make sure you’ve got the sunscreen on and a hat sorted before heading out.

Did you know that if you make your bubble mix a few hours earlier, the bubbles turn out way stronger?

We know because we checked the Healthy Kids website — it’s full of handy play ideas and easy, healthy meal ideas too.
