After more than 20 years of dedicated service to our community, Heather has made the decision to retire.

Heather has been a much-loved and respected member of our team, caring for generations of patients with kindness, professionalism, and commitment. Her contribution to the medical centre has been immense, and she will be greatly missed by staff and patients alike.

We sincerely thank Heather for her many years of commitment and outstanding service, and we wish her all the very best for a happy and well-deserved retirement and the exciting new chapter ahead.

Notification - Health Information Privacy Statement Update

Recent changes to the Privacy Act require our Practice to notify patients when information is collected about them from other agencies. We have recently updated our Health Information Privacy Statement to include this advice:

Health Information Collection
My general practice can collect information from other agencies for the purpose of maintaining an up-to- date health record and providing safe and quality primary health care.
This may include:
• Receipt of laboratory, radiology or other results
• Shared electronic health records, such as HealthOne (used in the South Island), which provides test results, allergies, medications, clinician summaries and hospital information shared by other providers involved in my care.
• Correspondence from after-hours services, hospitals and specialists which can include discharge summaries, specialist letters, lab and imaging results.
• Letters and notifications from referral providers reporting back on health or screening programmes for which I have been referred (for example, Green Prescription, smoking cessation, dietitian).
• Information from Health NZ and WellSouth in regards to updated demographic, NHI or eligibility information.
• Contact from or correspondence from non-health agencies such as Police, legal representatives, Oranga Tamariki, insurance companies, Ministry of Social Development (Work and Income New Zealand) and the Accident Compensation Corporation
• Receipt of correspondence from employers, regarding, for example, fitness to work

If you have any questions about this please contact …… or discuss with our reception team.

A reminder that all patients have the right to access (and have corrected) their health information under Rules 6 and 7 of the Health Information Privacy Code 2020.
