Primary Healthcare Service

Open today 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Description

Kia ora and welcome to Aotea Health.

As the sole contracted healthcare provider for residents and visitors to Aotea Great Barrier Island (and surrounding islands) we offer the full range of primary healthcare services. This encapsulates care throughout the lifespan from antenatal care to palliative care and includes general practice services as part of this.

Over and above the usual GP services we also offer:

resuscitation and stabilisation
diagnostic limb x-rays
plaster and cast services for non-operative fracture management
minor operative facilities for local anaesthetic procedures
medical laboratory collection
afterhours on-call doctor and nursing emergency services.

We are members of the community in which we work. As a team we are committed therefore to providing high quality care based on a partnership model of working with, rather than for, the community and individual patients. The team consists of: midwives (LMC), rural nurses (the role encompasses community mental health, district, public health, Plunket and practice nursing), general practitioners and administrators with support from a community worker.

Atawhaihia Manaakihia Mo Ake Tonu (to care always).
