One of the biggest changes in the way General Practice in New Zealand works is the way the nurses are now involved in many aspects of health care.
At Stoke Medical Centre our nurses offer a free phone advice service throughout the day. They are most often the first to see more urgent cases whilst awaiting a Doctor to become available, and work in a flexible team to keep waiting times to a minimum.
The nurses offer a number of services including but not limited to:
Cervical smear tests, Diabetes checks, Cardiovascular ‘Heart' checks, general health advice, wound care and blood tests.
