of Fashion During WWII

This presentation explores the dramatic effect WWII had on the way Kiwis dressed, as rationing and ‘make-do and mend’
became everyday practices.
Take a closer look at service caps, jackets, wedding dresses, pockets, and more, as we show you photos and uniform pieces from the Air Force Museum collection.

All welcome and bring a friend

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care. Find out more
