It's Maori Language Week!

To go alongside this, here are some useful phrases that can be used in the medical setting :) Taken from Covid-19 originally but their application can be varied

We are looking for new casual medical receptionist superstars!

Due to staff retirements, and Rolleston's constant growth we need to expand our reception team. At the moment we're interested in finding one or two out-going, detail focussed candidates who would like to work for us on a casual basis.

As a reference, our previous "casual" reception superstar ended up working 4-5 days per week almost every week before going on to work for us permanently. So there's every chance any successful candidates might have the same opportunities.

Our hours are 8am-8pm Monday to Friday, with Saturdays 9-12 and any successful candidates could be asked to work a mixture of morning or afternoon shifts. The ability to work quickly while under pressure, be open and friendly to all of our patients and a good eye for detail is key. The work is very busy, but the team around you will be a lot of fun.

We try to always look after our team here at Rolleston Central Health with competitive pay, flexible hours and other nice bonuses.

If you're interested, please send a CV and Cover Letter to kim.mccormick@rollestonhealth.co.nz

You will see some changes to the appointment booking system in the MyIndici app.

The Indici team have let us know they are updating the app next week and the process for bookings will change to make it more streamlined.

We will share more information when we have it 🙂

👋 Meet Sally – Our New Nurse Practitioner!
We’re excited to welcome Sally to the Rolleston Central Health team!

Sally brings over 21 years of experience in the hospital setting, with a strong background in acute pain management. After completing her Nurse Practitioner training in 2024, she made the move to Primary Care and is already loving the variety and new challenges the role brings.

Sally is passionate about building genuine relationships with patients and supporting them to improve their health and wellbeing. She truly believes in the difference good care can make.

Outside of work, Sally enjoys trail running, hiking, and spending time outdoors. She recently completed a trek to Everest Base Camp (how amazing is that?!). She also has two children and a cheeky miniature dachshund who keeps family life extra lively. 🐾

Say hi when you see her around—we’re so lucky to have her on board! 💙

"Rolleston Central Health is open as usual! 💡 Despite the current power outage, we're fully operational on our backup generator. Please still come for your appointment—our team is here and ready to care for you. Stay safe and dry out there!

📣 Following on from yesterday’s post…

We’re continuing to experience high demand, and with winter illnesses affecting not just our patients but also some of our team, our capacity is more limited than usual. ❄️🤒

As mentioned, if you're unable to get an urgent appointment with us, there are other trusted options available.

👉 For things like:
• Allergies
• Coughs, colds & flu
• Tummy bugs
• Prescriptions
• Medical certificates
• Skin irritations or rashes

You can access online GP and telehealth services through Health New Zealand here: info.health.nz/onlinegp 💻📱

These services can often help quickly when we’re booked up.
Thanks again for your support and patience as we navigate a very busy winter season together. 💙

Online consultations with registered healthcare professionals are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Subsidies for some people are available.

We have been hit pretty hard by the flu and gastro bugs going around! This means a large number of staff are off at the moment. While we will endeavour to keep all of our services running as usual you may find wait times are up, and there are less opportunities to book same-day appointments. Our reception team has been hit especially hard, and we have very limited resources to answer phone calls.

As always, please be kind to our staff who are working a tough job at the busiest time of year right now. You may find appointments getting rebooked as staffing changes, or that you're offered appointments 2-3 days later in the week. If your request is urgent, then as always our advice is to call Healthline or go to ED if we can't book you in.

In saying that, it's not all bad news! We have had new staff start work over the past couple of months and we will be hosting a new GP Registrar in July too 😀 Our staff numbers have actually increased (when fit).

Thank you for your continued support.

Hello everyone

With the extreme weather we are currently experiencing you may notice your appointments being affected, as some of our staff have to travel from Leeston and further afield.

We will attempt to text any patients before their appointments if they are needing to be rescheduled so please do check your phones and ensure we have your up to date contact information.

Stay safe while the weather is rough, drive carefully to your appointments and leave plenty of time to make it to your destinations.
