    • The Day in the Bay
      • This past weekend was the beginning of the 33rd Island Bay Festival.Saturday was a magnificent day (some say the best we have had all summer) The Parade was lined with people waiting and watching for the people and floats to go by and the park was full of families enjoying the sunshine and entertainment. Sadly Sunday did not fare so well with the weather - although is stayed fine the wind did play a big part in the turn out. The northerly was consistent all day.The Medical Centre had a stand in the park offering free health advice, blood pressures and blood sugar tests. We also had a well patronised the slip, slop, slap and wrap free sun screen available which was gratefully supplied by the Wellington Cancer Society. I think the star of our stand was one of the Doctors little vintage Fiat Bambina. We likened this little car to our own health. It is so important to look after our bodies in the same way as the little bambina has been cared for - a well looked after oiled machine. ...

    • Phone Message not updated
      • Our sincere apologies to those that rung the medical centre over the Christmas/New Year holiday's and got wrong information.We updated our opening hours on our website and put a notice on our door and front window but forgot about the answerphone. In the past the phone always got diverted to After Hours which covered this side things. For 2016/17 there was a change in plan and calls were not to be diverted. Sadly there was an oversight by us about the message on our answerphone. Once again our apologies
