Thank you for considering Kensington Health to be your trusted Your Whangārei Medical Centre & Whānau GP Service. If you decide to enrol with Kensington Health, you will be expected to attend a new patient assessment appointment. The purpose of this assessment is to introduce you to our practice and for us to get a good understanding of your medical history, what medications you are on, address any needs you have in a timely manner, and to understand you and your whānau in your health journey.
Generally, one of our experienced nursing team will conduct this assessment. The all-inclusive fee for this assessment is $95.00 (including GST) – which will include any agreed prescription requests, and this fee will be payable at our reception desk when you check in for this new patient assessment appointment (i.e. the fee is payable prior to the assessment happening).
During your assessment;
- You may advise that you wish to see a doctor or nurse practitioner about a concern you may have
- The nurse assessing you may suggest that they need to refer you to a doctor or a nurse practitioner for a specific reason (which they will explain to you in full)
If either of these needs should arise, a separate appointment will need to be made to see a doctor or nurse practitioner – and there will be a separate and standard appointment fee for this (for details of the fee applicable for these appointments, please refer to the New Patient Booklet, our reception area wall, our website – or just talk to our friendly reception team).
Please note that once you are enrolled with us;
- our standard appointments are for one or two issues maximum, depending on the complexity of those issues.
- If you need to talk about more than two issues, either a separate standard appointment OR an extended appointment will need to be made, for which the relevant published appointment fee will be payable on the day of your appointment.
If you have any questions, please give us a call on 09-4379070 or email us at reception@kensington.health.nz
We look forward to welcoming you to Kensington Health soon.
