Flu season is hitting hard this year, and here's something worth knowing: you're often most contagious before you feel your worst, so "soldiering on" at work, school or daycare can increase the risk of spreading it.

Feeling unwell? If you can, take a day to rest up in case you're about to go downhill. If you're sick, keep your fluids up, stay home and use paracetamol or ibuprofen for aches and fever.

Resting at home is the best treatment, as antibiotics don't work on viruses. However, do reach out for help if you or your child have difficulty breathing, chest pain, a high fever that won't come down, a severe headache or stiff neck, or blue or purple lips/skin. You can call Healthline free, 24/7, on 0800 611 116, and always call 111 in an emergency.

Haven't had your flu vaccine yet? It's not too late, and it's still a helpful protection, especially if you're older, pregnant, or living with someone who has an ongoing health condition.

Calling all GPs looking for a Local Health lifestyle!

Our Local Health practices across the region are looking for more doctors.

GPs at any stage in their career are welcome to get in touch - registrars, people a few years in, or someone more senior thinking about what their next chapter looks like.

If you or someone you know is looking for a rewarding role with a team that values collaboration, wellbeing, and high-quality care, we’d love to connect.

Managing your health, and the health of your whānau, is not always straightforward.

Sometimes what's needed isn't just a prescription or a referral, but someone to walk alongside you, help connect you with the right support, and make sure nothing gets missed along the way.

That's the thinking behind the new Local Health Care Coordination service, He Pito Oranga.

Our Care Coordinators, Alicia and Grace work closely with patients and whānau who are navigating complex health and social challenges. They join the dots between health, social services, and community support so that people don't have to figure it all out alone.

If you want to learn more about this, chat to our team on 06 888 7483 or email [email protected]
