Staff Changes
Unfortunately, our lovely young English doctors, Dr Matthew Barns and Dr Vicky Barns are leaving us at the end of February to continue their journey through life. They have been a great asset to the practice bringing new ideas from their experiences overseas. They have always had wonderful feedback from their patients. We will all miss them very much but wish them all the best in their future adventures.
We will continue to provide medical support to Matthew and Vicky’s patients.
We are actively trying to recruit new GPs into the practice, but this has been made difficult the Covid 19 outbreaks overseas. To date we have had no applicants from New Zealand as there is a serious shortage of New Zealand GPs.
