🤧 Hay fever season is coming — are you ready?
Hay fever affects 1 in 5 Kiwis and can cause sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked noses, fatigue, and even worsen asthma symptoms. It’s triggered by things like pollen, dust, and pet dander — and it tends to flare up in spring and summer.
🌸 Now’s the time to get prepared:
✅ Start antihistamines or nasal sprays early
✅ Check pollen forecasts and stay indoors on high-pollen days
✅ Keep pets out of bedrooms
✅ Ventilate, clean mould, and wash bedding regularly
While there’s no cure, symptoms can be managed. For help, visit allergy.org.nz or book a nurse or GP appointment with us.

If you need to see a GP sooner than your regular clinic can offer, or you’d prefer the convenience of online GP services, we recommend The Doctors Online
- Free online consults for children under 14 (with CSC)
- Adults from $33 (with CSC)
Time for a medication review? If you take regular medicines, a review with your GP is often 3-6 months, or as advised. This ensures your treatment remains effective and safe. Book your review in advance to avoid prescription delays, especially during busy times like mid-winter or the holiday season. https://thedoctors.co.nz/services/repeat-prescriptions

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in NZ. Also known as colorectal or colon cancer, it affects the colon (large bowel) and re**um, and men are more affected than women.
⚠It can develop without any warning signs, but 90% of cases can be treated successfully if caught early.
Watch for symptoms like:
- Bleeding from the bottom
- Ongoing changes in bowel habits
- Persistent tummy pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Feeling unusually tired or weak
Anyone with symptoms, no matter their age, should see a GP. You may also need earlier or more regular testing if you have a family history of bowel cancer.
✅Free bowel screening is available in NZ every two years for those aged 60–74. If you're Māori or Pacific, you’ll be invited to screen from age 50.
📬It’s a simple test sent to your home that checks for early signs of cancer, before symptoms appear.
Every day, eight families in Aotearoa lose a loved one to a preventable illness. This month, we’re putting the spotlight on men’s health — because our dads, partners, brothers and mates deserve to live longer and stronger.
We offer comprehensive men’s health services, from general check-ups to mental health and lifestyle support.
💡What we can help with:
- Health assessments
- Heart checks
- Prostate & testicular health
- Sexual health
- Mental health support & lifestyle advice
Our practice will be closed on Friday, 20 June to observe Matariki.
If you need care while we're closed: Visit your nearest after-hours urgent care clinic or call Healthline 24/7 on 0800 611 116 for general health advice. In an emergency, call 111.
Wishing you and your whānau a safe and happy Matariki weekend ✨
