🤩🤩 This February, we are taking part in Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🚶‍➡️

Our nurses are challenging to walk 100km to fight bowel cancer...

And the challenge starts TODAY!
Every month, 100 Kiwis die from bowel cancer and 253 people are diagnosed with this awful disease.

Our goal is to raise funds for Bowel Cancer New Zealand to raise awareness, support patients and fund research to stop bowel cancer taking the people we love.

So today, we are asking you to please sponsor our 100km challenge and support our team efforts to help save Kiwi lives.

OUR PROGRESS: Today 11/02/2026

WE'VE MOVED: 295KM

📢📢📢- You may be aware the Government has announced some new initiatives for General Practice, these include 12 month prescriptions and ADHD assessment and diagnoses. There is a lot to consider with these initiatives and they are not as simple as they seem.

💊 - 12 Month Prescriptions are coming:
However most people may not be suitable for this because of their health conditions. This can be discussed at your next Doctors appointment.

If you are eligible for a 12 month prescription you will need an appointment with your GP once a year.

📅Please ensure you book well ahead to get an appointment with your own GP on time. These will not be repeated automatically.

🩺 - ADHD Assessments & Diagnosis:
Currently Wakefield Health Centre is not providing this specialized service, but we are exploring how we may do this in the future.

Please be patient while we work through these initiatives.
