Virtual Consultations
Need to see a clinician today?
Consider a virtual, online consult. They’re a great way to get an appointment with a clinician when your general practice team is busy or closed, or if you’re away on holiday.
You can book a virtual online consultation with a registered clinician with a New Zealand-based provider. You can find out more about virtual consultations at Healthinfo or Healthify.
