Is 'man flu' real?! It's a very topical question at the moment, with the big current spike in the influenza 'A' virus making us very busy at the clinic.

Find out more about 'man flu' and other types of flu and cold bugs, at Healthify.nz. It is a very valuable, reliable, and useful source of advice when you or your family are ill.

Stay home, keep warm, rest and hydrate! Seek medical help if you feel seriously ill or your condition worsens.

Unfortunately we are operating with only a skeleton staff this week due to sickness/absences. There may be delays with some of our services, and our Casualty service may not be open all day/every day. Please bear with us, our team are doing their best to keep up.

Keep warm and stay well.

international definitions. This means that
those with an HbA1c 48mmol/mol or higher
will fall into the diabetes range (previously
>50mmol/mol).

Our Women’s Health Team
With two GP members of the Australasian Menopause Society, a Midwife Prescriber, experienced Physician Associates and nurses, there is substantial expertise in our Women’s Health Team.

On matters relating to menopause, sexual health, family planning, and contraception, we offer a comprehensive range of high quality services available to all. You do not need to be enrolled at TAMC to book a consult (casual patients will need to fill out a casual enrolment form, the first time they visit).

Many of the services are subsidised, so often there is a reduced fee, and sometimes no fee, for advice and treatments. Contact our reception to book – 07 872 0300. Make sure to ask our receptionist to book you into the Women’s Health Clinic ▪

Moving overseas?
We recommend you take a copy of your medical notes with you when you move overseas.
To organise this, contact us on [email protected], call us on 07 872 0300, or speak to one of our receptionists in person.
Processing these requests can take up to 10 working days, so it is a good idea to organise this in advance as we don’t send medical notes overseas.
