At the recent Eastern Bay PHA annual awards evening, Tarawera Medical Centre was again recognised for their consistent high quality clinical work, receiving the awards for highest achieving practice for immunisation up to 8 months for both total population and high needs patients. This follows a similar award recognising immunisation efforts at last year’s awards evening. It is great to see the hard work of our staff recognised as our highly qualified and experienced nurses are a fantastic asset and integral part of our team.

Tarawera Medical Centre has a long history of supporting Medical and Nursing students and junior doctors who join us for clinical attachments as part of their studies. We are currently hosting Gina Donk, a 4th year medical student studying at Auckland University, and Shareen Hanif, a 3rd year nursing student from Wintec. Both are enjoying the patient contact and friendly team environment we have with broad exposure to a wide range of General Practice issues as well as the opportunity to see some advanced minor surgical procedures. We would like to thank our patients, who, as always, are also just as welcoming as our staff and happy to have the students sit in on their consultations and procedures.

Reminder about Influenza vaccines. The free vaccines have been extended to the end of August so time is running short if you want to get your free immunisation. Influenza cases have been increasing and it not too late to get some protection.
