17 November – World Prematurity Day

Today we honour the tiniest fighters and the families and healthcare teams who care for them.

In New Zealand, around 1 in 12 babies are born prematurely (before 37 weeks). Thanks to advances in medical care, more premature babies than ever are thriving, but the journey can be emotional, challenging, and full of ups and downs for families.

Many people don’t realise that premature babies may need extra support for things like breathing, temperature regulation, feeding, and even managing sensory development. Time in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be intense, but it’s often a crucial step toward a healthy start.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in New Zealand, but early detection can make all the difference.

Many people associate lung cancer with smoking, but around 1 in 5 people diagnosed have never smoked. It can affect anyone, which is why awareness and regular health checks are so important.

Know the signs:
- A cough that doesn’t go away
- Chest pain or shortness of breath
- Coughing up blood
- Unexplained tiredness or weight loss

If you notice ongoing symptoms, it’s always worth getting checked. Your GP can help assess your risk, organise tests, and support you every step of the way.

November is Diabetes Action Month

Diabetes affects over 250,000 New Zealanders, and many more are at risk without realising it. With regular check-ups, healthy habits, and the right support, diabetes can be managed, and sometimes even prevented. Around one in four people with diabetes in Aotearoa don’t yet know they have it. Often, symptoms develop slowly, which is why regular health checks are so important.

Simple actions you can take:
- Know your risk: Talk to your GP or nurse about a blood glucose check.
- Stay active: Even a 30-minute walk a day helps your body use insulin more effectively.
- Choose whole, unprocessed foods and reduce sugary drinks.
- Look after your feet, eyes, and heart: Diabetes can affect more than just blood sugar.

Our team can help you understand your risk and support you in managing diabetes with personalised care and practical advice.

World Stroke Day – Wednesday 29 October

Every year, around 9,000 New Zealanders experience a stroke, that’s roughly one person every hour. It’s one of the leading causes of serious disability in Aotearoa, and yet many strokes are preventable.

What’s sobering is that nearly 1 in 3 strokes happen to people under 65. Stroke can touch people at any stage of live and isn’t just an “older person’s”.

The good news is that up to 90% of strokes are linked to factors we can do something about: high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, or atrial fibrillation. Regular health checks, balanced eating, daily movement, and quitting smoking all make a real difference.

And if a stroke does happen, knowing the signs and acting fast saves lives. In New Zealand we use F.A.S.T.:
- Face – is one side drooping?
- Arm – is one arm weak?
- Speech – is it slurred or strange?
- Time – call 111 immediately.

We want our communities to feel informed and supported. By understanding the risks, noticing the signs, and acting quickly, we can all play a part in reducing the impact of stroke.

Why are some people seen before me in Urgent Care?

It’s a common question our receptionists hear, so we asked one of our Urgent Care doctors, Dr Tonye, to explain why this happens 👇

⏱️ Wait times in Urgent Care aren’t always first come, first served.

Patients with more urgent or serious injuries are prioritised, so even if you arrived first, someone in more critical need might be seen before you.

Your health and safety is our top priority! 💙

Today is World Arthritis Day, a reminder of the impact arthritis has on the lives of over 700,000 New Zealanders. It’s the leading cause of disability in our country, yet often misunderstood as something that only affects “older people”. In reality, arthritis can affect anyone, including children and young adults.

Arthritis is a lot more than stiff joints. It can bring daily pain, fatigue, and challenges with simple tasks many of us take for granted. But with the right care, lifestyle choices, and support, people living with arthritis can continue to live active, fulfilling lives. Gentle movement, healthy nutrition, pacing activities, and connecting with others who understand the journey can all make a big difference.

We see arthritis as more than a diagnosis, it’s a condition that deserves empathy and proactive management. Raising awareness helps break down the stigma, encourages earlier treatment, and ensures that those living with arthritis don’t feel alone in their journey.
