We are moving!
We close our doors on Friday 26th January and will reopen at Rangiora Family Doctors on Monday 29th January.
How am I be impacted?
From Monday 29th January all appointments will take place at Rangiora Family Doctors. They are located at 36 Victoria Street, Rangiora and are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
All your health information will be transferred to the Rangiora Family Doctors database to ensure you can continue to receive great care.
Why is this happening?
The challenges and pressures faced by the Primary Health Care sector are well publicised. In smaller urban and rural areas it is challenging to provide care with limited resources. The combining of our Woodend and Rangiora Family Doctors teams in a single practice site will allow us to better support our staff and meet the needs of all our patients. We are currently finalising our plans to build a new purpose-built practice in Rangiora. It is our intention that this will be open to all our current patients in the middle of 2025.
South Link Health as part owner along with Dr Lorna Martin of Rangiora Family Doctors, Woodend, and Good Street Medical Centres is strongly committed to ensuring we have well-supported staff in contemporary facilities. As a not-for-profit organisation our focus is on delivering high quality patient care and maintaining the sustainability of general practice.
Will I still be able to see my same Doctor or Nurse?
Most of our Woodend Medical Centre staff will transfer to Rangiora Family Doctors. You may continue to see the clinicians you have seen in the past.
What Fees will I pay?
As part of this process we have had to realign our fees. This may mean you pay slightly more than you are currently paying. Our fees are outlined here.
What are the contact details for Rangiora Family Doctors?
36 Victoria Street, Rangiora.
Phone: 03 313 7197
If I need an appointment what number should I call?
You can continue to phone our Woodend Medical Centre number, phone 03 312 7333.
I owe money on my account, what will happen with this?
Any money you currently owe will be transferred with your patient information to Rangiora Family Doctors.
I have been paying my account with Woodend Medical Centre in advance, will this be transferred?
Yes. Any money in credit will be transferred with your patient information to Rangiora Family Doctors.
Can I still get my prescriptions sent to the same Pharmacy?
Yes. We have let all the local Pharmacies in the region know that Woodend Medical Centre is closing.
Can I transfer to another practice of my choice?
All your health records and information will be transferred to Rangiora Family Doctors. Should you not wish to be enrolled at Rangiora Family Doctors then you are more than welcome to enrol elsewhere.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to Contact Us.
