We understand that weekdays can be busy. To make healthcare more accessible for our patients, we offer convenient walk-in clinics every Saturday from 9am to 1pm. These clinics are intended to provide essential health services for you and your family, without needing to take time off work or school.
What’s on offer at our Saturday clinic?
MMR shots and boosters
We are committed to keeping you and your loved ones protected against preventable diseases. Every Saturday, we offer free MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccinations and booster shots for eligible patients. Whether you’re catching up on missed doses or staying up-to-date, our team is here to ensure you‘re protected.
Antenatal Vaccinations for Expecting Mothers
Protecting both mother and baby during pregnancy is essential, and vaccinations play a crucial role. Our weekend clinic offers antenatal vaccinations, including those for flu and whooping cough (Tdap). These vaccines help shield expecting mothers and their babies from serious infections. By getting vaccinated during pregnancy, mothers pass on antibodies that provide newborns with early protection, especially during their first months when they are most vulnerable.
Childhood Immunisations: Essential Protection for Growing Children
Giving your child timely immunisations is one of the most effective ways to protect their health as they grow. Our Saturday clinic provides childhood immunisations required by New Zealand’s national schedule. These immunisations are crucial in safeguarding children from preventable diseases, helping to build their immunity and keep them safe both at home and at school. Protecting your child through immunisation not only supports their health but also helps reduce the spread of illness in schools and the wider community.
Cervical Screenings (Smears and HPV Swabs)
Regular cervical screening is a key part of preventive healthcare for women. In our Saturday clinic, we offer cervical smears and HPV swabs, helping to detect early signs of cervical cancer and HPV infections.
You’re in control of your experience. You can choose to self-swab, or one of our caring staff can assist you—whatever makes you feel most comfortable. We understand the importance of feeling supported, especially for our Māori and Pasifika women, and are here to make this process as gentle and respectful as possible.
Blood Pressure
Keeping an eye on your blood pressure is important, even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often doesn’t have symptoms, but it can cause serious problems like heart disease or kidney issues over time. By knowing your numbers, you can stay on top of your health and make small changes now—like eating better or staying active—that can make a big difference later. Think of it as a quick and easy way to protect your future self!
Heart checks
Heart checks aren’t just for older people—they’re for all of us! Many heart problems start small and without warning, so it’s better to catch them early. A quick check of your heart rate, cholesterol, or overall heart health can help you stay in control and avoid bigger issues down the road. It’s about making sure your heart stays strong, so you can keep living life to the fullest.
Blood sugar levels
Keeping track of your blood sugar levels is important, even if you don’t have diabetes. High blood sugar can creep up without obvious signs, but over time, it can lead to serious issues like fatigue, weight gain, or even long-term health problems like diabetes or nerve damage. A quick blood sugar check helps you stay in control, make smarter food choices, and keep your energy levels steady—perfect for staying on top of your game!
Vouchers available
We want to encourage everyone to take advantage of these important health services. That’s why we offer vouchers for certain services during our Saturday clinics, making it easier and more affordable to take care of your health.
