A note to our valued community and patients -

Saddle View from Green Island - Abbotsford

The team at Green island Medical Centre are experiencing high demand for our services at present.

Please call us two weeks in advance to book appointments for regular health care and repeat prescriptions.

We have limited appointments available and are affected by staff shortages like much of the country’s medical sector.

We have recently had a GP go on maternity leave with a new baby (Congratulations Dr Burton and family) and will say good-bye to Dr Thompson soon when he relocates to Wanaka.

Our team is committed to providing our patient community with the primary care they need when they need it and will continue to do our best for you and your family.

Come and try out our new Robo Doc as seen in a recent ODT article.

Our new building is under construction and we look forward to moving into it sometime next year.

Thank you,

GREEN ISLAND MEDICAL CENTRE
4 Howden Street Ph: 03 488 2754

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
