Practice Plus is not appropriate for urgent medical concerns
If you are acutely unwell and require clinical assistance, please phone Healthline at 0800 611 116 for free medical advice.
Alternatively, you can go to Accident and HealthCare at 2nd Ave or the Emergency Department at Tauranga Hospital.
On behalf of all our staff we understand that getting in to see a doctor has become difficult - please be aware that this is not exclusive to Papamoa Pines but is indeed an issue across the country - a "whole of system" workforce crisis in NZ.
Whilst we sympathise with your frustrations we have noted a marked increase in verbal aggression and abuse being demonstrated towards our staff - please be aware that our staff are doing their very best in very trying circumstances. Please do not abuse them as this will not be tolerated in any shape or form.

Fee increase for Consultations from 5th September
As the gap between the government funding for primary care and the cost to deliver quality care continues to widen, we face no choice but increase some of our fees. This is not a decision we want to make but the continuous underfunding has made this decision necessary.
GPs 'in crisis' - and patients paying the price, survey shows
Nine out of 10 family doctor clinics plan to increase their fees - if they have not already just done so, according to a new survey out today.
Here's a preview of our Facebook page.
