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, from antenatal care to palliative care. This includes general practice services.

Over and above the usual general practice services we also offer:

  • covid-19 swabbing
  • 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
  • 24 hour afterhours on-call doctor and nursing emergency services.

We are members of the community in which we work. As a team we are committed 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 (covering community, mental health, district, public health, Plunket and practice nursing), awhi ora and health coaches, a health improvement practitioner, general practitioners (GPs), nurse practitioners (NPs) and our administrators.

Atawhaihia Manaakihia Mo Ake Tonu (to care always).
