Button batteries are highly dangerous and can be fatal if swallowed. Make sure you don't take them out of the packet until needed, and keep any you may have, including devices that use them, out of reach of children.

Common household items that contain button batteries are car key fobs, remotes, toys, appliances and hearing aids.

If you need these in your home, make sure they are out of sight and reach of tamariki.

If you are ever tempted to spend money on a test for perimenopause, just have a watch of this video by a genuine expert in the field. You don't need testing - you may just need some hormones which are fully funded so no expensive supplements required. Just see your doctor - we'll make sure it's right for you and check other health issues you might have at the same time.

It's been a while since we posted but we have two updates - first to let you know we have a VERY limited (17 to be exact) number of places to take on new patients at the moment - any whanau who have been hoping to join are now welcome but get in quickly.
Second is to ask you to consider signing the petition for better funding for primary care - what you pay is less than 20% of the cost of providing your appointments so we need the government to come to the party and do their bit. Every signature helps:

General Practice services are stretched and under threat, and people are waiting longer to see their family doctor as a result of workforce issues and underfunding.
