GP practices work best once you're enrolled with them, so newcomers to an area should check whether a practice is taking on patients before counting on a casual visit. Standard appointments tend to be short, so arrive with a short list and book a follow-up rather than stacking several concerns into one slot. Practice nurses handle much of the routine work, from immunisations and blood pressure checks to dressing changes and repeat prescriptions, and seeing the same doctor each visit does a lot for continuity of care. For after-hours worries, Healthline (0800 611 116) gives free advice around the clock, with 111 reserved for emergencies.
For households in Brooklyn and Mount Cook, a practice on Ohiro Road keeps a family doctor within easy reach of home.
