💉Blood Tests - Helpful Tip🩸

If you have a blood test coming up, make sure you drink plenty of water before your appointment.

👉Staying well- hydrated helps your veins show up more easily, which means blood tests can be quicker and more comfortable.

💧A simple glass of water can make a big difference for you and the nurses taking your sample.

✨ Thanks for helping us, help you!

Massive thanks to the Far North REAP Road Safety whānau for the opportunity to be part of this awesome kaupapa!

By the end of this week's training, we'll have our very own local Child Restraint Technicians 💪 Child Restraint Technicians play an important role in keeping tamariki safe on our roads.

Over the next few days, Shannon and Karen will be out and about in Kaitaia, Hokianga, Kaikohe, and Moerewa, joining the Road Safety Team and NZ Police at education checkpoints. This will be a great chance for them to gain hands-on experience while helping to keep our communities and whānau safe on the roads. Give them a big shout out if you see them e te whānau 😁🥰

Wwhhuuu kourua!!

As from Monday, 25 August 2025 our clinic in Te Kao will be provided from the Te Kao Seventh Day Adventist Church at 6224 Far North Rd, Te Kao a temporary site until our rebuild is completed.

While at the Church there will be no GP clinics, only nurse led services. Tuesday GP and Wednesday fortnight GP clinics normally in Te Kao will be at Tohoraha, our Pukenui clinic. Once our rebuild is completed and we are in our new building, services will return to normal.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

17/08/2025

Morena,

A reminder that our Te Kao clinic will be closed this week while we move a number of our services to the Te Kao Seventh Day Adventist Church, in preparation for our rebuild. This will mean if you are needing to see a Nurse or schedule an appointment with the GP it will be at one of our other clinics in Pukenui or Te Hapua.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
