• Our practice is an active member of the East Care group, which is a cooperative association of most of the Howick and Pakuranga general practitioners.
• East Care A&M, 260 Botany Road, provides an after hours and urgent service for the community.
• East Care is not a General Practice and so is not able to provide continuity of care, but is provided as a service to our patients by the local GPs for after hours care and for patients unable to see their GP that day who have an urgent problem.
• East Care forwards information about the problem you presented with, the investigations performed and the treatment or advice provided.

If you need urgent care outside of our practice hours or on the weekend, and you deem a virtual GP consultation appropriate to your needs, we have now partnered with a virtual GP service, Practice Plus.
