A new GP practice on Preston Street in West End, Timaru, run by a small team that says it puts continuity of care and personal attention first. The lead doctor trained as a family physician in the Netherlands, worked for years as a doctor in South Africa with a special interest in minor surgery and musculoskeletal medicine, and became a fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners in 2022. The practice does minor surgery under local anaesthetic in its treatment room, along with immunisation for children and adults, sexual health and family planning advice, and mental health and wellbeing support. A nurse on the team has a background in public health, immunisation campaigns and women's health. The practice aims to reach Māori and Pacific communities equitably, and it refers patients on to specialists and community services where needed. Its website also lists obstetrics and gynaecology as special interests for one of the team.
