Do you have any respiratory symptoms?
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.

Travel Clinic
Dr Vicky Jones runs a travel clinic at Katikati Medical Centre. She has a post graduate qualification in travel medicine from the University of Otago.
Whether you are holidaying overseas, or travelling for work, it’s important that you are up to date with the correct vaccinations and travel advice.

The harm caused by skin cancers is reduced by early detection and treatment. For this reason, we encourage people to come for an assessment if they notice a new or changing mole or skin spot. Those people at high risk of developing skin cancer or those with previous skin cancer should have a regular skin check.

Respiratory Clinics are run by nurses with specific training in COPD. Please speak to your GP to access this clinic
