We have become a Health Care Home practice. This means we are trying to become more patient focused and be able to offer you more services locally.
You will notice that if you phone for an appointment for the same day you will be told the call will be triaged. This means that the doctor or the nurse will phone you to assess the situation, usually between 9-9.30 am.
It may be your problem can be solved over the telephone or by a prescription or by seeing a more appropriate person other than the doctor.
If your problem is urgent and needs attention that day you will be seen. It might mean you will be seen quicker.
If as a result of a triage phone call you need an appointment there will be a normal appointment charge. If you need a script but no appointment, the usual script charge will apply.
The demand for appointments is on the increase and the range of services we wish to offer is increasing. This means we need to create some capacity during our opening hours. We also want to be able to offer you different ways of communicating with us other than always needing face to face consultations

Hutt Hospital is at 100% capacity, Wellington Hospital has a huge number of flu patients being admitted to intensive care and the wards, After Hours are overflowing every night and we are struggling to see all our patients that need to be seen.
About 120 patients with flu-like symptoms have presented at Wellington Regional Hospital's emergency department each of the past three weeks, adding to a significant surge in influenza cases across Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) hospitals.
A few key tips:
Please give our nurses a call and they can help you on the phone and please remember, we will always do our very best to see our little patients on the same day.
It is not too late to get a flu injection - Please if you have not had one - reconsider and give us a call to book a time to have one.

We are going to be extending our hours at Wainui clinic on a Wednesday from 8.30 am until 8.00 pm. There will be Doctor and Nurse appointments available from 25 July.
Our late night clinic at Lower Hutt will continue to be open on a Tuesday evening.
6/8/18
We will no longer be running our walk-in urgent care clinics from 11 June 2018. Instead, if you’re enrolled with us and feel you need to see a doctor that day, give us a call. You’ll talk to a doctor or nurse and if necessary they can arrange an appointment for later that day.
By talking to one of our health professionals directly you may be able to resolve some issues over the phone, avoiding a trip in to see us if you don’t need to, which will save you time and hassle.
