Today we say goodbye and good luck to nurse Alverie as her and her husband start their new adventures down south. I am sure she will be missed by all the staff abd patients .

Thank you Alverie Doyle for your years of care and commitment you have shown the Upper Hutt community.

Here is a snippet from her social media page .

A rather surreal day today.
Last day working as a Practice Nurse in Upper Hutt. Started working at UHAH in Royal Street around the early 1990s. Made some great friends and did the odd relieving at Dr Malik's on Main Street. Next step started work with Dr Mike Dunn in the "little house" on Queen Street.
What an amazing teacher he was and we had many interesting times in that little house.
Next move was above Lagans Pharmacy.
Will never forget the earthquake when receptionists were running around, I was in the doorway telling them to get under or beside the desk and Mike carried on consulting with the patient🙄🤣
Next move was to Queen Street Medical in the present building attached to Queen Street Pharmacy.
An awesome place to work and have seen Doctors, Nurses and the very important Receptionists come and go.

✨ Huge Congratulations to Jade! ✨

Today marks an incredible milestone — Jade has officially completed her Nurse Practitioner qualification and passed her final panel! 🎉👩‍⚕️

From the moment she joined us on her 9-week placement, we knew she was something special. Nearly nine years later, she has grown into an exceptional clinician, leader, and role model.

What makes this achievement even more inspiring is that Jade has done it all while working and being a devoted mum to two young boys. Her dedication, resilience, and passion for nursing have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Jade, we truly could not be any prouder of you. Thank you for your commitment, your kindness, and everything you bring to our team. Your future as a Nurse Practitioner is incredibly bright, and we feel privileged to have been part of your journey.

🌟 Congratulations Jade — you’ve earned every bit of this success! 🌟

We wanted to let you know about some upcoming changes to our prescribing process, which is due to take effect from February 2026.

These changes are being introduced to help ensure prescriptions are issued safely and appropriately for every patient.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Some medicines may be available for longer prescription lengths, but this will depend on what’s safe and appropriate for each patient.
• Only a small number of medications are included in this change.
• If you are on more than one medication, it could mean that only one of these is ok to prescribe for more than 3 months.
• Before any prescription can be issued for more than 3 months, your blood tests and health checks must be fully up to date and you must have a consultation with your Doctor or Nurse Practitioner.
• Your prescriber will always make decisions based on what’s clinically safe and best for your health.
• Even if you get a prescription for 12 months, medicines will still be dispensed every 3 months from your pharmacy.
• Controlled medicines (e.g. opioids, stimulants) or medicines taken only as needed are not included in the list of medications

Am I eligible for a 12 month prescription?

• Your condition and medication dose has been stable for at least 12 months
• You do not need regular monitoring (like blood tests, blood pressure checks)
• The medicine is approved for 12 month prescribing (a small selection)
• You agree to a yearly in person review, blood tests etc to check that the medicine is still suitable
• Some of your medications may be eligible and others may not - this will be discussed with your clinical prescriber.
Decisions regarding prescription length will be at the discretion of each Doctor and medical practice, based on individual patient needs and clinical judgment.

Thank you for your understanding and for working with us to keep your care safe and effective.
