Hi everyone. We are aware that some of our patients have now been contacted by Manage My Health, to advise that their historic data has been involved in the recent ransomware breach. To date, our clinic has not been contacted by MMH directly, so we have not received any additional information.

We would like to confirm that even though our clinic no longer uses Manage My Health, our patients' historic accounts at Manage My Health will still exist there until the accounts are closed. Once your MMH account is closed, your data there will be deleted. Log in to your MMH app in order to close your account.

We recommend using the Manage My Health FAQ page to get the latest information:

We're enjoying those summer BBQs and buffet meals once again.

Foodborne illness, or food poisoning, strikes about 200,000 New Zealanders every year. Following handwashing rules and handling food safely can help you avoid getting sick from food at home.

Some people are more at risk from food poisoning including young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with other illnesses. Common symptoms include nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and headaches.
