​We are sad to announce that after 7 years Dr Alice Miller will be leaving us on 25th September to move to Wellington. She will be spending  more time with her family and taking up Public Health.
We wish her well in her career change.
We are happy to advise patients enrolled with Alice that they will be cared for by Dr Dawn Sandleback, whom many of you may have met before, in partnership with Nurse Practitioner Leanne Hutt, who covered for Alice on her last maternity leave. Dr Alison Turei, who covered for Alice on her first maternity leave, is also available.

In this era of COVID and increasingly broad ways of interacting with the medical centre it is important that we are able to contact you for results or consultations.  Please could you check that we have your up-to-date contact details? If you are on ManageMyHealth then it can be checked and updated through the ManageMyHealth website - click on the profile link on the left of screen. If you are not on ManageMyHealth then please send us an email via the website (https://www.tematapeakpractice.co.nz/contact.html) with an up-to-date email address and telephone numbers.

We are still open! We will continue to care for you in a similar manner to recent times.
If you need to be seen in the building then that will still happen. If you are unwell and need to be seen on the day then please call 068730750.

Do not come into the building with coughs, colds, runny noses, or other COVID symptoms. If you have these symptoms then please call us to arrange a swab test.

​Where your problem can be dealt with by telephone or video then we encourage this use. If you subsequently need to be seen in person then we will arrange this.

Do not put off seeking care where needed!

We appreciate these last few months have been difficult and frustrating, we thank everyone for their extraordinary efforts in containing and possibly eliminating COVID-19 from New Zealand.
We have returned to near normal services but we hope to learn from the past few months and incorporate changes to make our service more flexible and efficient.
We know that telephone consultation/video suit some people and we will continue to offer these on a permanent basis.  We also know that they do not suit some people and have resumed face to face consultation for those that prefer these. There is no extra charge if you have a telephone consultation and subsequently need to have an examination in person.
 
We will also continue to provide email/virtual advice. This service does take up our time and will reduce the number of face to face consultations we can offer, and we will need to charge for this advice.
 
You can book face-to-face appointments through our administration team. (call 068730750)
 
We do ask however, that anyone booking a face to face appointment self-screen and declare any symptoms consistent with COVID 19, or ANY respiratory illness. These include sore throat, cough, fever, runny nose, loss of sense of smell.
It is very important we know this before we see you. We must keep people with respiratory illness away from other vulnerable patients and we must always consider the chance COVID 19 has crept back into our community. Please mention this if you are ringing or email via ManageMyHealth to request an appointment.
 
At this stage we plan to see people with coughs and colds in our segregated carpark area or cabin. Please do not come into the building.
 
Our aim is to keep our waiting rooms as empty as possible, and as safe as possible.
Thanks once again for your understanding.


TL;DR
We have returned to a mixture of face to face, telephone, and video consultations
If telephone/video consultation is more convenient for you then we are more than happy to continue these and you can book via ManageMyHealth or by calling reception, there is no extra charge if you need to subsequently come in for an examination.
If you need a face-to-face appointment then please call reception to book this.
If you wish for a face-to-face consultation and have any symptoms of cough, cold, sore throat, runny nose etc then please let us know in advance so we can make arrangements.

We are aware that there are a number of people overdue their medical certificate for driving. The NZTA has given leeway to defer these until October 2020. Your licences will have been automatically extended until this date.
Due to COVID-19 level 2 restrictions we are still limited in the number of face to face consultations we can offer but we are now restarting these examinations, especially for those now past their birthdate.
If you require your driving medical then please ring and indicate to reception you are keen to proceed and we will arrange a time. If your birthday is not for a few months then please delay to allow us to catch those that are overdue.
