This Women's Health Week (10–16 August), we're taking a moment to remind every wahine in our lives, including mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, aunties and friends, that your health matters, too. So often women put themselves last, quietly carrying the wellbeing of everyone around them. This week is a reminder that looking after yourself isn't selfish, it's essential.

Knowing which health checks are worth considering isn't always straightforward, especially as our needs change with age, life stage, and family history. That's where the right screening, at the right time, can make all the difference.

Backed by New Zealand's largest network of specialist radiologists, Auckland Radiology’s screening services help women make informed decisions about their health. We offer screening for breast, gynaecological, heart, bowel, bone and lung health, with recommendations tailored to your unique situation.

Every scan is reviewed by an experienced radiologist and recommended only when it's clinically appropriate.

If you're curious about what screening might be right for your stage of life, talk to your GP or specialist. Our services work alongside, not in place of, Health New Zealand's screening programmes.

This Women's Health Week, take a moment for you.

On Wednesday 24th July, ARG Te Tai Tokerau hosted an in-branch Physio Evening for Whangārei based referrers.

Two of our radiologists, Dr Barnaby Clark and Dr Catherine Bradshaw, gave a short talk on MSK shoulder and knee.

The evening also featured a guest speaker, Dr Caroline Stuart, a Whangārei based sports physician, who spoke about the topic “Choosing Imaging Wisely – Perils and Pitfalls”.

The evening was a great success. The ARG Te Tai Tokerau team forged new relationships and strengthened existing ones with the 34 physios who attended.

We were officially opened by Hon. Dr Shane Reti, Minister of Health last Friday. The team at ARG TTT are proud to be introducing the first provincial digital PET-CT scanner in New Zealand, revolutionising cancer diagnosis and therapeutics access for Northland communities.

Since opening our doors, we have assisted over 1000 Whangārei and Far North patients with their medical imaging needs.

Prior to opening for our first day of business on Monday 15 January, a traditional Māori blessing ceremony was held at dawn. This ceremony was used to seek blessings, acknowledge the importance of health and well-being, promote a positive environment for patients and staff and honour the traditions of the local Iwi in Te Tai Tokerau (Northland).

The ceremony was attended by representatives from 3 of the local Iwi, senior staff members from Matakohe Architecture and Whangārei Hospital and staff from RHCNZ Medical Imaging Group and Auckland Radiology Group. Speeches and karakia were followed by a light breakfast in the new clinic space.

We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this project for all their hard work over the last 2 years. ARG Te Tai Tokerau is our first Northland clinic and significantly improves access to essential medical services for local communities.

In May our new Whangārei branch received a blessing from local iwi Te Parawhau, the last step before building works could begin.
We're excited to show you the progress pics as we commence works onsite.
