Nurse Practitioner: Sneha Haughey
A familiar face has returned to HMC!
Sneha, who was previously our Nurse Manager has returned in the new role of Nurse Practitioner (NP). An NP works in collaboration with the GP team. They can diagnose and treat acute conditions, and order diagnostic tests like x-rays and lab work. NPs have a broad scope of practice and have the same prescribing authority as a GP. NPs have a focus on disease prevention and health education which can enhance clinical interaction with patients. Sneha will be working Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday each week and is available now for general consultations.

Did you know that Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in New Zealand? Unfortunately, it’s also the leading cause of premature deaths for Māori and the Pacific communities.

Unable to Make Your Appointment……
Please note, that a Missed Appointment / Late Cancellation Fee of 50% of the service price will be implemented from 8th January 2024. Appointments with GPs are in high demand. If you are unable to attend your appointment or no longer require it, please advise Reception via phone (09 837 1110) or email (adminhmc@hendersonmedical.co.nz). If you fail to show up for your appointment or notify us within 3 working hours of your appointment time, this fee will be applied to your account. As this will apply to all age groups, children will incur a flat fee of $10.00.
This has been introduced as we have had a significant increase in the number of patients not turning up for their appointments or have cancelled at the last minute. This means we are not able to fill this spot for patients who need to see a GP urgently. HMC, at their discretion, will remove this charge in exceptional circumstances.
We thank you for your understanding.

Covid-19 / Respiratory Illnesses
If you are coming through to see the GP for a respiratory-related illness, we would appreciate it if you could do a Covid-19 RAT test prior.
If you return a positive result, please inform us at the time of booking and we will instruct you accordingly. For all other respiratory-related illnesses, please collect a mask on arrival. Additionally, please note there are no longer any free services associated with COVID-19 from the Government, therefore appointments will be charged at the standard rate.
