We are located in Palmerston, Otago with a satellite clinic in Waikouaiti.  We moved into our new, modern, purpose-built facility in 2017. It provides state-of-the-art facilities and plenty of space for our medical team.  We are owned by South Link Health Services and are part of a supportive, nationwide network of 23 general practices.

Our Team

We are a agile, passionate team of Locum General Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Practice Manager and Admins.  Most of us live locally but we are an easy commute from both Ōamaru and Dunedin for those that prefer city living.

Our Patients

We have over 2, 400 registered patients. 

We are committed to equity, inclusivity and cultural competency.  Our team participates in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Privacy and Child Safety, cultural competency and Rainbow Awareness and Inclusion training.

Staff and Training

We conduct full inductions onsite for all new staff members and provide ongoing training to keep up to date with regulations.  We have weekly full team meetings.

About Us

We are open Monday to Friday and operate morning and afternoon sessions.  Each session has twelve 15-minute patient appointments. 

We also provide 24/7 acute, emergency care. Many of our team are trained in Primary Response in Medical Emergencies (PRIME).

We use the latest version of cloud-based Medtech Evolution as our Patient Management System, and we have Manage My Health, so patients can look at their results, book appointments and order repeat prescriptions. 

We have a Dunedin-based South Link Health IT team who are supportive and knowledgeable and assist whenever we encounter issues. 

We are Foundation-accredited. 

About East Otago

We are renowned for our history, and Puketapu (sacred hill), our main landmark.  We are also the gateway to the Otago Goldfields heritage trail and Central Otago.  

We enjoy a temperate oceanic climate with our average summer temperature of 17 C and winter 10 C.
