Click on the enrol now button above and fill in our enrolment form and return to us via email (admin@cambridgefamilyhealth.co.nz) or drop them in to one of our lovely receptionists.

Urgent Booked Medical appointments available
At Cambridge Family Health, we offer urgent booked on-the-day medical appointments for patients needing urgent medical review for acute illnesses and minor accidents. This service is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm to our enrolled patients and on some days casuals. Please note we require patients to phone ahead, you will then be triaged by a Nurse and given advice, or an appointment will be made. These appointments are not to be used for routine medical reviews, repeat prescriptions, ACC and WINZ certificate renewals. A nurse triage fee may be applied.
Respiratory patients and mask wearing
Wearing a mask in our practice is now voluntary for all patients who are not presenting to us with symptoms of a cough, cold, fever or concerns about COVID-19 infection. If you book an appointment with us for review of a respiratory illness, you may be required to wait in the car until your appointment and we would encourage you to undertake a RAT test before you come to us. If you suspect you might have COVID and you have not tested at home, then we will ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time, let us know when you are in the carpark, a RAT test will be given to you and you will be asked to remain in the carpark until called for your appointment.
