Increase in patient fees from the 19th of June 2023.

Due to a number of issues outside our control, we have to make an increase in our usual fees to maintain the quality of our service.

The drivers include increasing inflation and other costs, alongside significant reductions in government funding streams.

We acknowledge the substantial impacts these changes may have and really appreciate your ongoing support.

If you are struggling with costs please ask your healthcare provider if you are eligible for a disability allowance, or discuss your situation with our reception team.

Please see our fee page for more details.

Thank you to all our patients.

We will be closed Monday 5th June and reopen Tuesday 6th June – enjoy the long weekend.

We’re excited to now offer patient portal access through myindici.co.nz
Features include booking / changing appointments, viewing your health info, streamlined prescription repeats & much more!

See our reception team to sign up; you’ll need valid photo ID and a personal email address.

We will be closed on Tuesday the 25th April and re open Wednesday the 26th April.

We will be closed Friday the 7th of April and Monday the 10th of April.

We will re open on Tuesday the 11th of April.

We have updated the information on our COVID-19 page, to help you work out when you will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in Canterbury. We’re not yet sure if / when we may be able to provide vaccination at Selwyn Village Healthcare, but will continue to keep our website updated as information becomes available.

We’re now able to give flu vaccines to all our patients, though don’t yet have the vaccines for ages 4 and under (will update here when this changes) . Please walk in 8:30 – 4pm, no appointment needed. Please don’t ring to book.

Our team of frontline health workers are now being vaccinated against COVID-19 (through the CDHB).

We regularly see patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and so vaccination helps prevent passing infection on to our other patients if we’re exposed. We believe there is good evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine being used in New Zealand.

We’re actively trying to secure COVID-19 vaccination at Selwyn Village Healthcare for our patients, but don’t yet know when this might happen. We’ll keep you posted through our website.

Funded Flu vaccines are now available for our patients ages 65+. If you are 65 or older please come to our morning walk-in clinic 8:30 – 11am. Please do not call to book an appointment.

We’re expecting flu vaccines for other groups some time next month – we’ll update our website & recorded phone message (or you can subscribe below). We have no information yet on when we might be able to offer COVID-19 vaccination.

Our 2021 Flu vaccination program is due to be starting soon; we’re waiting to have the date of delivery confirmed. Initially these will be available only for our patients aged 65+. This year vaccination will be provided through our morning walk-in clinic (8:30 – 11am).

Once vaccination is available we’ll update our website & recorded phone message (or you can subscribe to our news updates). We have no information yet about COVID-19 vaccination for our patients.

With Easter public holidays this weekend we’ll be closed from 5pm Thursday 1st of April, reopening 8:30am the following Tuesday. We are not open Friday 1/4/21 or Monday 5/4/21. If you need health advice through the long weekend please call Healthline on 0800 611 116, or for GP care that can’t wait book an appointment through AfterHoursGP.co.nz

Please submit prescription repeat requests early if you’ll run out of medication; these can take up to 48 hours to process, and you may be asked to arrange an appointment if you haven’t been seen recently.

Happy holidays!

We’re excited to welcome Megan O’Connell as a new member of our team. Megan is a competent and experienced practice nurse who will start helping care for our patients this week.

From the beginning of May we’re expecting to offer the 2021 flu vaccine; we can’t book these appointments until we have more details.

There is still no clear information about whether COVID-19 vaccination will be provided through General Practice, and when this might occur.

We’ll keep our website updated, or you can subscribe to our news to get notified directly by email when we know more. Thanks for your patience!

Our patients can still access quality GP care when we are shut, without sitting in a waiting room for hours. Visit AfterHoursGP.co.nz to find out more.

If you are unwell, please ring Healthline (0800 611 116) as your first step so that serious and life threatening conditions are appropriately seen in Emergency Department.

Responding to your healthcare needs, we have a GP attending to urgent problems each weekday morning. While other practices may take days to offer urgent care, our patients can walk-in daily from 8:30 – 11am even if your usual GP is unavailable.

This is ideal for minor injuries, infections, and any other urgent / semi-urgent condition. For routine care (such as prescriptions) please see your usual GP.
