Another frosty start in Ōtepoti Dunedin this morning ❄️

Please take extra care on the roads, footpaths and driveways as conditions may be icy and slippery.

If you’ve had a slip, trip or fall, our team is here 24/7 to help with walk-in injuries.

We’re also continuing to see very high demand this week, with lots of viral and seasonal illnesses circulating in the community. Many coughs, colds and flu-like illnesses can be safely cared for at home with rest, fluids and symptom relief. 🤧

Please be aware there may be longer waiting times than usual while we care for the most unwell patients first. Thanks for your patience and kindness to our team 💙
