Peninsula Medical Centre - Te Atatu Peninsula
COVID-19 Level 3
COVID-19 UPDATE 28/02/2021 - Move to Level 3
Peninsula Medical Centre is OPEN during COVID-19 Lockdown
Peninsula Medical Centre is your primary care clinic. We are an essential service, therefore we remain open. To protect our vulnerable patients and staff, and reduce the spread of COVID-19 there are some some key changes about how we run:
- We return to PHONE CONSULTATIONS, and if a clinician deems it clinically necessary for you to be seen in person, we will arrange for this in a safe way.
-
COVID-19 Testing Site will resume for those who have symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose/sneezing/head cold, shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell or fever), or who are close or casual contacts. You do not need to be enrolled at Peninsula Medical, anyone meeting the criteria can be tested.
-
If you are due a Repeat Prescription, you can request this as normal (phone or Health365 Portal). If you are due for a GP review, please book an appointment.
- Prescriptions will be sent directly to your local Pharmacy, you will not be able to pick these up from the clinic. Please identify your local Pharmacy before speaking to a Doctor or Nurse.
- Prescriptions will be sent directly to your local Pharmacy, you will not be able to pick these up from the clinic. Please identify your local Pharmacy before speaking to a Doctor or Nurse.
- No Saturday clinics until further notice.
We are an approved COVID-19 Designated Testing Practice, this means we can safely test and assess our patients as well as other members of the community. The testing is completely separate from the GP Clinic, so it is safe for those who are needing to come into the clinic. We can test anyone with ANY of the following symptoms:
- Cough
- Sore Throat
- Shortness of Breath
- Head Cold (e.g. Runny Nose, Sneezing, Post-Nasal Drip)
- Loss of sense of smell
- Fever
As the situation evolves, we are adapting with it, so there may be further changes to the above. Thank you for your support and understanding as we navigate this together!
Stay Safe. Be Kind. Kia Kaha!
