At WFD we are monitoring the situation and  receiving advice daily from the Ministry of Health through our PHO and DHB to provide care for patients and staff.   We have increased our infection control precautions in line with the advice we receive and we are well prepared. 

To protect our patients, as of MONDAY 23rd MARCH 2020 we will be moving to providing most of our  consults by phone or video link as per the directive from our advisory body RNZCGP.   All NEW consults booked after this date will be assumed to be a virtual consult, unless requested and discussed with your GP.   We will be contacting everyone with existing appointments to determine your needs.   We will strictly  be permitting only a few people in our waiting room at a time.  Any person symptomatic with a respiratory illness and triaged to be requiring assessment will be seen outside in our car park along side the building.

These measures are to protect our staff and vulnerable patients within our waiting room.

Please visit the Ministry of Health website here for up to date information.  (This is updated daily)

FLU VACCINES are now available to the >65 and those with chronic medical conditions, and pregnant women.     Flu clinic appointments are available by contacting reception by phone or email.
