Have you organised your free cervical screening?

Cervical screening saves lives, and this month, it’s free for everyone aged 25–69 with a cervix across all our Local Health practices. About one-third of people in our district have either never had a test or are overdue! 🩺

If you’re a woman, trans man, non-binary or gender diverse, this simple test is crucial, and there’s a self-swab option available. For Feilding and Ashhurst clients, there’s also a walk-in clinic every Thursday evening, no booking needed. Come and see us! 🙌

Spring brings sunshine - and pollen! Allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion can really put a dampener on the season.

If allergies are getting to you 🤧 you can try:

☀️ Keeping windows closed on high pollen days
☀️ Using air purifiers
☀️ Using sunglasses to keep your eyes protected from pollen
☀️ Regular spring cleaning to clear out dust

You can also chat with your GP for advice on managing symptoms.

📢 With measles cases increasing in Aotearoa, it’s never been more important to check your immunisation status!

As well as being very contagious, measles is a nasty infection – during the last outbreak 30% of affected people ended up in hospital, some with very serious complications. Measles infection can also cause serious permanent complications.

The MMR vaccine is free and offers strong protection. Have questions or not sure if you’re covered? Reach out to us. Protect yourself, your whānau and your mates this summer so we can stop the spread🛡️

With longer days, ☀️ sun protection matters even on cooler or cloudy spring days.

Sunscreen (SPF 30+), hats, sunglasses and sensible cover-ups keep your skin healthy and lower your risk of skin cancer. If you spot new or changing moles, let us know - we’re here to support you with skin checks and advice.

Hot tip - did you know that staying hydrated helps with energy, focus, and overall health? 🤭

Aim for eight cups of fluid daily—water, tea, coffee, or juicy fruit 🍉 counts, too. If you’re out gardening or active on warmer days, sip more often!

Cervical screening saves lives - so in November, all our Local Health practices are offering free cervical screening 🩺 for everyone aged 25–69 with a cervix.

Regular screening can find cell changes early, so they can be treated before they turn into cervical cancer. Many people - women, trans men, non-binary, and gender diverse - can benefit from this simple test.🌈

If you’re due for a smear (or overdue!) book your free appointment via https://ashhursthealthcare.nz/. If you’re enrolled with Feilding and Ashhurst Health Care, you can also pop into our walk-in clinic, operating after hours from Feilding Health Care. This will be every Thursday in November from 5:30pm to 7pm.
