While our practice no longer uses Manage My Health, we want to provide you with important information to help protect your health data. Please read the notice below.

We use the Well app patient portal. We chose Well because it is designed differently from Manage My Health. The Well app does not extract or retain full patient records or ongoing clinical histories outside of our practice's secure systems. Your medical records will continue to be held and managed safely by our practice, which remains the trusted source for your health information.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Our team will be back tomorrow from our festive break, and we're ready for 2026. Normal hours will resume tomorrow.

You may have seen recent media coverage, including the front page of yesterday's ODT, about a cybersecurity incident involving the ManageMyHealth (MMH) patient portal used by some general practices in NZ. It’s completely understandable if this has raised questions or concerns about whether your own health information is secure.

We want to reassure you that our practice uses the Well app.

We chose Well because it’s designed differently from some other patient portals. It does not extract or retain full patient records or ongoing clinical histories outside our practice systems. Your medical record continues to be held and managed securely by our practice as the trusted source.

Because of this approach, patients using Well are not exposed to this risk in the way described in the recent media coverage.

There is no action required from patients using the Well app. You can continue to use it as normal.

It's especially important to be stocked up if you're going away on holidayπŸŽ„
βœ… Check in with your pharmacist to see if you have any repeats or need to contact us for new prescriptions.
βœ… If you’re away from home, you can find local GPs and pharmacies here: https://www.healthpoint.co.nz
βœ… Remember, this is a busy season for GPs and pharmacies, and our opening hours over the festive season are limited, so get in touch early so we can sort your meds before the summer break begins.
