ACC
ACC is a no-fault scheme which covers everyone, including visitors, who are injured in an accident in New Zealand.
Childhood Immunisations
All standard immunisations for children are free until 18 years of age. You can make an appointment with the Practice Nurse for your child’s immunisation.
Cervical Screening
All women who have ever been sexually active should have regular cervical smear tests every three years between the ages of 20 and 70.
This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. This test detects abnormal cells which, if left untreated, could become cervical cancer. Very often these cells are made abnormal by a human papillomavirus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted virus. Regular tests and treatment reduces the likelihood of this sort of cancer by around 90%.
Contraception and Sexual Health
Ashhurst Health Care offers a variety of contraception options. You can discuss all of these with your health practitioner. We provide confidential and non-judgemental sexual and reproductive health care services.

If you are deficient in vitamin B12, then the injections are very effective at raising your blood levels.
