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.

Learn more here:

A bowel screening test is for people who do not have any obvious symptoms of the disease. Discover more here:

If you need to see a GP sooner than we can offer, or would prefer the flexibility of online care, we recommend The Doctors Online. 💻 It’s a trusted service for non-urgent medical advice and prescriptions.

While we encourage continuity of care with your usual GP — for physical exams, long-term health management, and building a trusted relationship — we understand that life can get busy. Work, travel, or family commitments can make in-person visits difficult at times. That's where The Doctors Online can help.

Are your family's immunisations up to date?

It’s easy to check! Use the personalised immunisation schedule on Health New Zealand’s website to see what vaccines your child needs from 6 weeks to 13 years.

🔹 Missed a vaccine? No worries! Most immunisations can be caught up.
🔹 Need advice? Talk to your GP or nurse for guidance.

Staying up to date helps protect your whānau and community! 💙

In Aotearoa New Zealand we have a National Immunisation Schedule. This sets out the free vaccines offered to pēpi, tamariki, teenagers and adults at certain times in their life.

Who should get immunised and when? 💉

Immunisations protect you, your whānau, and the community from serious diseases. In NZ, key immunisation programmes include:

✅ Flu vaccine – Protects those most at risk from influenza
✅ Childhood immunisations – A national schedule for tamariki aged 0-5 years
✅ Measles (MMR) – For those who may not have been fully immunised as a child
✅ Covid-19 vaccine & boosters – For ongoing protection

Vaccinations start when pēpi are 6 weeks old and continue into adulthood, providing the best protection when given at the right time.
