Holiday healthcare options
Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH)) is urging people to choose the most appropriate healthcare option over the holiday season.
The ‘123, where should I be?’ promotional campaign aims to remind people to stop and think about the best healthcare option for their need.
People with non-life threatening, short-term illnesses or health problems should see their GP, pharmacist, urgent care medical centre or phone Healthline on 0800 611 116.
Patients that are sick but it is not an emergency are encouraged to see their GP in the first instance.
It’s free to register or enrol with a GP, and enrolled patients pay a reduced consultation fee at that practice.
Visitors to a medical centre where they’re not enrolled, will pay less if they have a Community Services Card or High Use Health Card.
All children under 13 are eligible for free general practice visits, both during the day and after-hours.
If people are not able to see their GP they should go to the Urgent Medical and Injury Centre in Nelson or the Urgent Care Centre in Blenheim.
Patients can be referred from these centres for x-rays if required.
