Looking after your wellbeing
2021 has been another year full of challenges. As we now adjust to life in the new traffic light system, it throws us a whole new set of challenges.
Take these summer holidays to concentrate on looking after the mental wellbeing of yourself and your whānau.
Christmas can often add financial and social stresses. For some of us, the pressure is on to create a magical day for our tamariki and whānau. For others, the Kirihimete period can increase loneliness and hardship, with limited access to kai, transport and other services.
Try to keep in mind, that the true gift of the season is our presence, not our presents.
Giving our time, our words and our presence makes others feel great, but it also lifts our own mood and makes us feel our lives have more meaning. It's one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing - simple things we can all do to feel great.

Patient Access to Clinics
Please be aware, as we are a basic needs service, and have a duty of care to ALL of our patients, vaccine passes ARE NOT required for entry into The Doctors Napier Ltd.
To protect our patients and staff, we will continue to screen people as they come in to the clinic to determine if they have any respiratory (cold or flu-like) symptoms. We will continue to keep symptomatic and non-symptomatic patients distanced from each other for everyone's safety.
When coming in to the clinic, please try to come alone. If you need to bring a support person with you please limit this to one person to ensure we can safely keep everyone distanced.
Wishing you a Festive Holiday Season
From our teams at The Doctors Napier, Greenmeadows, Ahuriri & EIT we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2022.
We look forward to continuing to care for you and your whānau in 2022.
