News from Onslow Medical Centre

25 July 2024

Fee increases starting from 23rd July 2024.

Every year, the government sets the limits for our fee increases and determines the funding we receive to manage your care. This year, they have granted us only a 4% increase in funding and have told us to raise patient fees by an average of 7.76% in an attempt to help with the increasing costs.

Our healthcare system is underfunded. A report by Sapere suggests that most practices need at least a 34% funding increase to remain viable, but this has been ignored.

Currently, primary care receives only 5.4% of the health budget, even though it significantly reduces hospital costs.

Primary care manages 23 million GP contacts annually, while emergency departments handle 1 million.

A 6% reduction in primary care capacity would double the workload in emergency departments. To maintain quality healthcare to you and prevent hospital overload, increased funding for primary care is essential.

We want to continue to provide excellent and timely healthcare to all our patients. We don’t want to find ourselves in a situation where you have a 6 week wait to see a GP, as is the case in some areas.

We understand this increase is not welcome news and appreciate your understanding.

We would love you to email our Minister for Health, Dr Shane Reti at s.reti@ministers.govt.nz and express your support for more GP funding.

25 June 2024

We now have a full complement of nurses available in the practice. This is wonderful news. We are all very excited to have a full team again.

The Nursing Team is led by Paige, our Nurse Manager and her team of Practice Nurses – Vanessa (who also manages our standards, policies and procedures) and Georgia, Brogyn and Bridie.

The team come to us with a wide range of skills and experience and they look forward to meeting you when you next visit.

Childhood Immunisations

Please book with the team now to get these commpleted and up to date. Appointments are available.

New Doctor – Dr Matt Gaston

We are very excited to advise that we have Dr Matt Gaston starting with us from Monday 8th of July 2024. Matt comes to us with excellent experience.

He will l be here 3 full days per week – Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, and will be taking new patients. Bookings are open now!

Service Increases

Due to an increase in rising costs for the practice we are reviewing our current charges. We have seen a substantial increase in the costs of medical supplies, power, wages etc to name a few. An increase to most services will take effect from 1 Juy 2024. Thank you for your support and understanding. from the Onslow Medical Centre Team.

May be a graphic of text that says 'medtech MEDEOR Pay today with Medeor Pay by Link A simple, secure and convenient way to pay your doctor for any invoice right from your device'

We are introducing a new way to make payment on your account!
How does Medeor Pay by Link work?
Whether you come to see your doctor in person, book a phone appointment or order a repeat prescription your doctor will simply email or text you a link to your personalised “Outstanding Invoices” payment webpage and you can pay it all straight away from your device.
How will my doctor send me a payment link?
Your doctor will send you a link by text or email, depending on the preference you have asked for. When the link opens your personalised “Outstanding Invoices” payments webpage, your doctor’s logo and practice address details will be at the top of the page.
How do I know the payment link is from my doctor?
If you receive a Medeor payment link by email from your doctor you can check the email address that the link has been sent from. The link will be sent from your doctor’s practice email address and the link in the email will have “https://paybylink.medeor.co.nz” at the front of the link. If you receive a link by text, it will also have “https://paybylink.medeor.co.nz” at the front of the link. When the link opens your personalised “Outstanding Invoices” payment webpage your doctor’s logo and practice address details will be at the top of the page.
Is Medeor Pay by Link secure?
Medeor Pay by Link uses industry standard security to ensure all payments are securely transacted. This includes the encryption of the card capture process (see the lock symbol and https:// reference in the website URL of your payment link). In addition, Medeor is independently audited for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
How do I pay using the link?
Click on the link your doctor sends you by email or text, and all your “Outstanding Invoices” are presented on one personalised webpage. If you have more than once invoice awaiting payment, your most recent invoice will appear last and the full amount owing on all invoices will be displayed at the bottom. You can choose to pay all amounts you owe or enter the amount you can pay today against each of the invoices.
Can I pay by EFTPOS card or bank transfer?
No. Medeor Pay by Link accepts payments from Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards only.
Can I pay for whānau linked to my account?
Yes. If you are the family account holder with your doctor’s practice, or you are a carer or guardian for whānau linked to your account – then you will be able to pay for all invoices for all whānau from one payment webpage. Talk to your medical centre about account holder settings and how they can work for you.
Will I get a receipt when I pay online?
Yes. On your personalised “Outstanding Invoices” payment webpage, tick the box to receive an email receipt before submitting your payment. By default this box will be ticked and the account holder’s email will be displayed here. You can change the email address or untick if you don’t want a receipt.
What if I forget to pay when my doctor sends me a link?
The link your doctor has sent to you will work for 21 days. During the 21 days you can click on it again and choose to pay more towards your invoices. After 21 days, if you haven’t paid, or you’d like to make another payment ask your doctor to send you a new link.
Do I have to sign up for a Medeor account?
No. Your doctor will simply send you a link by email or text and it will open your personalised, secure payment “Outstanding Invoices” webpage and you can pay from any device.
Do I have to download an app to pay?
No. Your “Outstanding Invoices” are presented to you in a personalised, secure payment webpage when you click on the link.

Level 4 Lockdown- Covid -19
Apologies for not updating you sooner on what’s been happening over the past few weeks.
We have had an incredibly busy time here at Onslow Medical Centre.  We started off with the recruitment of a huge team of casual workers so that we could deliver the covid vaccine to our patients in a safe environment. This was a huge task recruitment wise. Hours and hours of work to get a team together, but we had an amazing group of people on board to help us to get up and running.
We initially started with weeknights, then demand was high, so we added in weekends. Due to the demand we also started during work hours, with our own nurses vaccinating wherever the need.
Amongst all of this we opened our 2nd vaccine site up at the Khandallah Presbyterian Church in Ganges Rd, Khandallah. This site was also busy.
Then along came Level 4 Lockdown and how things changed for us.  2 Metre distancing meant that there was no way we could continue to vaccinate safely at the medical centre. Within a few days we had the Khandallah Presbyterian Church site running at full capacity.
We then went onto the bookmyvaccine.nz website to open up bookings to anyone who wanted to book a vaccine. So, we had 2 computer systems operating at once, which was to say the least, a challenge.
Our incredible team at the Khandallah Presbyterian Church site are  averaging around 500 vaccines per day. WOW! Onslow Medical  Centre is swabbing for covid as required and this is very busy, given the current locations of interest.
We have had numerous hiccups along the way, as you would expect. The main issue we had were the 2 booking systems and running them side by side. Unfortunately this may have impacted on some of you that had appointments at the medical centre. We have been able to mostly send out group emails or texts to patients to advise them of any changes  in their appointments. But please be assured, these vaccines will be given but up at the church location, and in some instances we have asked that you go to bookmyvaccine.nz and rebook your vaccine for another time.
We are working incredibly hard to ensure that we get to you, so please if you have any questions and have not received any form of communication, call the practice and we will help you 04 478 9999
These are very trying times for us all, so we need to stop, take a breathe and “be kind”!
If you require Urgent medical care please call the practice, we are there on the end of the phone. We may be delivering our consult in a different way ie: telephone. But we are there to help.
Thank you
Tracey Wynne
Practice Manager
