Smales Farm is open!
While Northcross is currently out of action for urgent care matters, Smales Farm is still running business as usual.
Sadly we are finding that some patients are waiting to come in and see us but leaving certain health conditions can be detrimental to your health.
Please be assured that we have taken measures to ensure your safety and ours.
Firstly you will be assessed by our screening clinician at the door.
Following this, you will either be taken into a room straight away, popped in our waiting room which has been given a social distancing makeover, or even asked to return to your car.
We are only taking PayWave payments or are invoicing to be paid online. No cash.
We have installed perspex screens for our receptionists and our staff have PPE available to them.
So please if you find yourself in need of urgent medical or accident care, pop in and see us at Smales Farm.
We are open 24/7. No appointment necessary.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
