Urgent Care wait times
We understand that waiting to be seen can be incredibly frustrating but here are some things to think about before seeing our clinical staff that will help speed up the entire Shorecare process.
Clinical questions:
- How long have you been unwell and what symptoms are troubling you?
- Have you had this before?
- What medication have you taken/given to the sick child today?
- The names of all regular long term medications currently being taken and if you have any allergies.
- Think about the way an accident happened and what got hurt and how.
- What is your vaccination status e.g. tetanus
Please remember to think about the others waiting to be seen and avoid bringing in extra "while I'm here requests". We are an urgent care clinic and are here to see you for the urgent matter at hand, not your long term concerns.
Even if a person went ahead of you, the staff have a good reason - one day if you have a dangerous condition we will do the exact same thing for YOU.
If the Doctor seems like they are hurrying, it is because they are busy and not because they are not interested or are uncaring - it may be way after their due meal break or finishing time but they are there for you.
It is very common for our hardworking staff to work overtime and skip extra tea breaks so that they can continue to care for you and make your wait time as short as possible.
Thanks for helping keep our wait times down!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
31.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
