Do you have any respiratory systems?

IMPORTANT: PLEASE WEAR A SURGICAL MASK AND DO NOT ENTER THE BUILDING IF YOU HAVE RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS

We try to minimise the risk of catching viral infections including COVID 19 by running a separate pathway for patients with respiratory symptoms including coughs and colds. Most are dealt with over the phone and those that need to be seen are seen in a cabin accessed from the back carpark.
Please phone Reception on +64-7-549-0411

We strongly recommend that you wear a mask to protect yourself and our vulnerable patients

Patient Information

1. What is Health 365 and how do I use it?

Health 365 is a secure website service provided in conjunction with Katikati Medical Centre and your GP to help you be in control of your health care. Health 365 is very useful but is not to be used for anything urgent. Click here for more information.

Your Doctor will discuss with you as to how you will be advised of the results and when they should be available. Most routine tests take 72 hours to be reported back and checked by the Doctor although some, such as biopsies or cervical smears, will take longer.  Please contact a nurse if there is an inappropriately long delay.

Please remember our Reception staff are not qualified to interpret results and are not permitted to give them to patients.

No, when doctors are on the premises they run to an appointment schedule. Please speak to Reception or a nurse who can assist with your enquiry and/or make an appointment for you.

In limited circumstances we are able to see visitors. We DO NOT have a walk in Accident and Emergency clinic, you must phone Reception prior to your arrival on tel 07 5490 411.

Visitors will be asked to pay in advance.

For urgent care please go to Tauranga Public Hospital or contact 2nd Ave Health Centre (Tel 07 577 0010) in Tauranga who are open 7 days.
