Junior Doctors at Waikato DHB are on strike next week
Junior doctors at Waikato Hospital and other District Health Boards are striking from 8am on Tuesday 12 February to 8am on Thursday 14 February 2019.
Services will be affected as there will be fewer staff on duty.
We will be deferring some appointments for surgery, treatments and outpatient clinics and giving priority to emergency, intensive care and maternity.
All patients whose operations or clinical appointments are affected by the strike will be notified by telephone. Not all clinics are being deferred, so if you have not been notified please call the service to confirm. If you are unsure please call 0800 276 216.
Please save the hospital Emergency Department for emergencies. If your illness or injury is not urgent, you may face long delays.
Go to your family doctor or local accident and medical centre.
Contact Healthline on 0800 611 611 for advice from a trained professional.
Need mental health support and someone to talk to? Free call or text 1737 any time, 24 hours a day. You’ll get to talk to (or text with) a trained counsellor.
Should the strike notice be lifted, services will resume.
Thank you for your patience.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
Leaving Neighbourly
Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.
Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.
I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.
No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
