What's happening at SSHC......
A huge congratulations to our Practice Nurses Letitia Cohen and Katie Meade! These ladies are now qualified Community Nurse Prescribers and can now see patients for minor aliments and also give out prescriptions that are listed under their scope of practice.
We are currently taking on patients for Dr Geoffrey Carden and for Nurse Practitioner Rachael Parkinson WITH RESTRICTIONS. We are only enrolling patients who are new to the area and for those who do not have a current GP.
Dr Andy Williams and Dr Anna Eglinton are at capacity, however, do have a wait list. Please complete the wait list form below and email to reception@sydneysthealth.co.nz.
We are currently experiencing large volume acute demand for same day appointments. This is normal for this time of year. If there are no available appointments that reception staff can give at the time, they will then will put you on a nurse callback list. The nurse will ring back to either offer some advice over the phone, fit you into an emergency appointment or redirect to after hours provider. Please talk to us first!
