Due to COVID19 and Flu season, non-urgent appointments will have an increased wait time.
We apologise for any inconvenience. Please know that we are doing our best to accommodate patients as much as we can. Thank you for your understanding during this very difficult time.
Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal health is how your body structure enables you to live your life. Can we help you with any musculoskeletal barrier to health, exercise, and/or movement?
Indika is our Registered Physiotherapist, your musculoskeletal expert, working in the transdisciplinary team, in our new purpose built physio consulting space in the downtown hub.
He can help you with pain, injury, post-surgical rehabilitation, arthritis management, respiratory health, neurological conditions, and general bone and joint problems.
Injury work is partially ACC funded and we have several other funded pathways for physiotherapy service.
Let us know how we can help you get moving again. Ask us about coming to see Indika.
Acute Care
Introducing Coral, our Extended Care Paramedic, working in the downtown clinic.
Coral comes to us with 20 years’ experience in the community as a paramedic and now with the additional Extended Care scope of practice.
Extended Care Paramedics assess, treat and refer in the space of acute illness and injuries.
Coral can see people acutely for wounds, strains, sprains, coughs and colds, infections (such as UTIs) rashs, minor burns, abscesses, bites, skin care, sexual health, gout, ankle or foot injuries, back pain, mild asthma, pneumonia and a long list of other acute conditions.
Working at HHPNZ Coral’s practice in acute care is supported by our broad transdisciplinary clinical team.
Within her clinical scope, Coral can provide swift assessment and treatment for patients with urgent or acute healthcare needs.
If patients need to see another member of the team, Coral will arrange that onsite as part of her assessment and care.
No repeat scripts – these go to our nurse prescribers please.
Book a slot with Coral over the phone or just walk in.
Social Work
Our value statement of “a right health” is central to the way we work. The goals of the Social Work service are to engage and support our enrolled patient population with a focus on the environmental and social determinants of health.
​
The Social Worker can help with coordinating access to other services, Work and Income, housing, financial services, and help and support with walking along side you as you navigate the health system.
Social Work is there to understand you in your context of as an individual, family and within your social system. Social Workers offer realistic solutions with a non-judgemental, culturally sensitive and practical approach.
​
By working together with the health professionals within the practice, we can provide comprehensive, co-ordinated holistic care that meets your needs, not just around medical conditions.
The Social Work service is fully funded within the practice and at no charge to you.
