From acute to chronic

The foundation of New Zealand’s health system is general medical services. Our GPs and nurses at Oamaru Doctors are in an excellent position to get to know you well and understand your individual healthcare needs.
As well as assisting you to deal with illnesses, we want to help you to maintain your good health. When you come to see us, we are thinking broadly about your well-being and we are able to provide a wide range of services, as they are needed by you from time to time.
For example, with our focus on prevention, we have a reminder system (“recalls”) for when you are due for routine checks such as smears, cholesterol blood tests, immunisations and annual diabetic reviews. Even when referral for specialist advice or tests is needed, your doctor will help you with the process and continue to manage your ongoing healthcare needs.

We value cultural diversity and we strive to be sensitive to our patients’ cultural backgrounds.
