Get Ready For Christmas
It's hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by! With only a few weeks left until the Christmas season and summer holidays are upon us, we hope that you’re all looking forward to some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
Now is a good time to think about planning your health needs before the Holiday season is upon us.
Order your Christmas Prescriptions early
Now is the time to plan your medication needs to make sure you have enough medication to last through the holiday season.
Please don't leave it too late; contact the team at Papamoa Pines and sort out all your family's medication so that you don't run out over Christmas.
The easiest way to order your repeat prescriptions any time of day is via our patient portal “MyIndici”. If you’re not already signed up, please contact us to arrange your registration.
Book your routine medical appointments in advance
Due to the increased volume of people needing medical care and the GP shortage in Aotearoa, we are experiencing increased wait times for routine appointments.
If you attend a routine appointment (for regular repeat prescriptions or a medical certificate renewal) and know you will need another appointment in 3 months before you leave, we strongly encourage you to speak with one of our receptionists and book your next visit. This will ensure you can get what you need without delay.
