Kia Ora everyone, you may be aware that industrial strike action by Nurses, Healthcare assistants (HCAs) and some Midwives employed by Te Whatu Ora/Health NZ is scheduled for 24 hours, from tomorrow 9am Wednesday 30 July until 9am Thursday 31 July.

Below is an overview of how services may be affected to help our patients plan accordingly and defer non-urgent visits to ED where possible (which should be the case even in non-strike times).

UPDATE: Our systems are now back up. Thank you for your patience.

Kia Ora whanau,

Unfortunately all our systems are currently down due to a nationwide issue with our practice management software provider MedTech.

As a result of this our computers, phone lines and internet are not working. We are experiencing difficulties seeing patients as no records can be accessed and are currently unable to contact those with bookings.

We will make an update as soon as all the systems are running.

Sincere apologies for all the inconvenience this is causing.n

Today we remember those extraordinary men and women who have served our country and exemplified selflessness, courage, discipline and self-sacrifice during times of crisis.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:⁣⁣
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.⁣⁣
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,⁣⁣
We remember them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
E kore rātou e kaumātuatia⁣⁣
Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei⁣⁣
E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore⁣⁣
Ahakoa pehea i ngā āhuatanga o te wā⁣⁣
I te hekenga atu o te rā⁣⁣
Tae noa ki te arangamai i te ata⁣⁣
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou⁣⁣
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou⁣

Today, our team spent time with multiple NGOs and social service providers in Hamilton at a hui hosted by Tuu Oho Mai focussed on addressing Family Violence.

Every 4 minutes, NZ Police respond to a family harm incident. That’s over 130,000 callouts a year. But we know this is just the tip of the iceberg - many victims suffer in silence.

Family violence isn’t just physical. It can be emotional, financial, or psychological. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.

This is why, at our practice we talk about family violence, because it affects your health and we believe that together, we can break the cycle.

If you or someone you know needs help, you’re not alone. Talk to us for confidential support or reach out to one of the following organisations:

📞 Tuu Oho Mai – 07 834 3148
📞 Women’s Refuge – 0800 733 843
📞 Shine – 0508 744 633
📞 It’s Not OK – 0800 456 450
📞 Police (in an emergency) – 111
