Junior Doctors' Strike
Please be aware of the intended 48-hour strike by some Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) who are members of the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association (NZDRA), starting tomorrow.
The proposed strike is part of a national period of industrial action by RMOs and will take place from 7am on Tuesday, 15 January through to 7am on Thursday, 17 January.
Patients should still come to their scheduled appointment or surgery at Palmerston North Hospital on the strike days UNLESS we have contacted them directly to say their appointment is being rescheduled.
People with non-urgent ailments or injuries should visit their GP or after hours clinic in the first instance. Anyone unsure about whether they need ED care should contact their GP or call Healthline (0800 611 116) for free advice from a registered nurse.
More information is available on our website.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
