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. 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 not yet enrolled with us, we’re accepting new enrolments and you’ll be able to access this free November screening.

If you’re due for a smear (or overdue!) book your free appointment at https://groupmedical.nz

Spring is a beautiful season, but it also comes with a rise in respiratory illnesses like influenza and RSV in our region this year.🤒

If you’re experiencing a cough, fever, or other respiratory symptoms, stay home to recover and help protect others—especially tamariki and older adults.

Flu vaccinations are still available and recommended, so contact us if you haven’t had yours yet.

Let’s look after each other 🧡 and keep our community healthy! 🛡️

It’s time to talk about those ta-tas, because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Early detection can make a massive difference. So whether it’s time for your mammogram or you’ve noticed any changes, talking to a healthcare professional is always the best step.

If you’re 45 or older, regular 🎀 breast screening is recommended, and it’s now available for people up to age 74.

Support whānau, friends, and yourself by staying informed. Check out this guide for self-checking: https://www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz/breast-awareness/breast-changes/check-your-breasts

This week is 🧠 Mental Health Awareness Week! It's a good time to do a wee check in on your mental health and wellbeing.
