This Mental Health Awareness Week, look for the small things in you daily life that might silently impact your mental health.

Social media is one of those things... It might be affecting your mental health more than you think.

That quick scroll before bed. Checking notifications every few minutes. Comparing your life to someone else's highlight reel. It all adds up.

While social media can be a great way to connect, some habits can quietly impact your mood, confidence, sleep and stress levels without you even noticing. Swipe to see what’s happening beyond the screen 📱💭

Tips For Your Appointment 💡

To help everyone get the care they need during our busy winter months, here are a few helpful reminders:
- GP and nurse appointments are 15 minutes and can cover up to 2 topics.
- If you have 3 or more topics to discuss, please book a double appointment.
- Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to allow time for any administration.
- If you can’t make your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the appointment to someone else.

Please note: If you miss your GP or nurse appointment without letting us know, a fee will apply.

Thank you for helping us make the most of appointment times and keep care accessible for everyone!

Early Detection Saves Lives 💙

Did you know 1 in 3 New Zealanders will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime?

Detecting cancer early can make treatment more effective and improve outcomes. Though many symptoms aren't caused by cancer, it's always worth getting them checked.

If you've noticed any unusual changes to your body, or something doesn't look or feel right, don't put it off. Book an appointment with your GP or Nurse Practitioner. 📅

Read more about the signs to look out for, screening programmes, and cancer prevention on our website: https://www.thedoctors.co.nz/cancer

What team-based care means for you and your whānau 💙

We’re making it easier for you to get the right care, at the right time, while continuing to provide personal and coordinated care.

More appointment options:
When you’re unwell, waiting to see your preferred GP isn’t always practical. Our team-based model gives you more flexibility to book with any GP who has availability, helping you access care sooner.
You can book through The Doctors App, or call Reception and we’ll offer you the next available GP appointment.

Access to a wider range of expertise:
Our clinical team brings different skills, specialisations and experience. By working together, we can help match you with the healthcare professional best suited to your needs.
When you call to make an appointment, our Reception team may ask what you’d like to be seen for. This helps us book you with the most appropriate GP or nurse. Any information you share is treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Connected, coordinated care:
Your care doesn’t rely on one person alone. Our GPs work from a shared clinical record, meaning whoever you see can access your medical history, medications, test results and previous consultations.
Our clinicians communicate and work together to ensure your care remains consistent, coordinated and informed.

Continuity of care still matters:
We know many patients value having a regular GP who knows them and their health history. If you’re managing a chronic or ongoing condition, we encourage you to continue seeing your usual GP whenever possible.
If your regular GP isn’t available and your concern can’t wait, another member of our team can step in with access to your shared clinical record and the support of your usual healthcare team.
Our team is here to help you access the care you need, when you need it.

💙 Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men in New Zealand, but when it's found early, it can often be successfully treated.

Symptoms can include:
✔️ Blood in your bowel motions
✔️ Changes in bowel habits
✔️ Ongoing abdominal discomfort or bloating
✔️ Unexplained weight loss
✔️ Persistent tiredness

While some risk factors can't be changed, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk, including eating a healthy, high-fibre diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and avoiding smoking.
Bowel cancer often develops slowly and may not cause symptoms in its early stages. That's why screening is so important.

📬 Free bowel screening is available every two years for eligible people aged 60–74 years.
If you have symptoms, a family history of bowel cancer, or questions about your risk, please get in touch. We're here to help.
