To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.
Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Phone and video consultations:
Doctors, Nurse Practitioners and other health professionals will be using telephone and video consultations. Your GP or nurse practitioner will advise you whether you need to visit them in person.
Connecting through your patient portal:
Many General Practices offer a patient portal. These are safe, secure ways to communicate with your General Practice. You may be able to; email your GP, nurse practitioner or long-term conditions nurse, check your what medicines you are on, check recent laboratory results or request simple repeat prescriptions.

"Dear Michael,
The past few weeks have been a real challenge in every sense of the word. But, one thing has become clear during the COVID-19 outbreak... we are in this fight together and being kind is more important than ever.
I hope you and your whānau are staying safe at home in your bubble. We still don't know what the near future holds, but we know that humans aren’t the only ones impacted by this pandemic – it's animals too.
our SPCA frontline essential workers are still working day-in day-out for the animals.
Today, I wanted to reach out and ask for your support so they can continue their vital work during the lockdown period and beyond.
I understand your personal circumstances may have been impacted by the pandemic, and your wellbeing is important. Please know my request is just for those who are able to help right now.
However, we need as much financial help as possible to support our essential staff as they work in the face of adversity.
the reality is we will struggle to function without income we usually get from our op shops, or from our other forms of fundraising which have come to a sudden halt.
Our vets are still administering necessary treatments. Our inspectors are working hard with emergency call-outs and acting quickly to be there for animals in our communities. Our animal teams are with vulnerable animals who need rehabilitation. All while adapting and enforcing physical distancing and new health and safety rules set up with Level 4 requirements.
SPCA will be there to protect animals today, tomorrow, and beyond the lockdown. That we can promise.
But we can’t do it without you.
Together, we can ensure that animals don’t suffer because of the impact of COVID-19. Please will you stand by our essential workers as they protect vulnerable and sick animals?
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and please stay safe during this time!
Andrea Midgen,
SPCA CEO"

Please consider donating what you can as these people are essential workers too and the Animals are victims in this as well.

We'd need you to be happy to be identified and photographed (from a distance). If you think you can help, please email senior journalist Andrea Vance on andrea.vance@stuff.co.nz.
