The South Taranaki Rural Health General Practice (the Practice), located at Hāwera Hospital, is a modern service run by a team of senior skilled clinicians such as general practitioners, nurse practitioners, practice nurses, clinical nurse leaders and rural/urgent care doctors. We aim to provide a welcoming, safe environment for all with a focus on equity and patient-centred care.
Same day Clinic:
We ask that people try their own GP first as they are in the best place to help with your health needs. STRHGP runs a Same day Clinic, as able, where we see casual patients who need same-day evaluation for minor illnesses or injuries.
Please note we DO NOT see patients in the acute clinic for WINZ / sickness or off work forms or certificates, referrals to Base Hospital, routine prescriptions, controlled drug prescriptions or 3 month routine Doctor reviews. Please contact your own GP for these services.
If you need an on-the-day appointment, please call the Same Day Clinic on (06) 278 1383 and select option 2.
