Taradale Medical Centre

General Practice (GP) Service

Today

Description

Taradale Medical Centre is a Cornerstone accredited practice comprised of General Practitioners, Nursing and Support staff. As a member of the Hawkes Bay Primary Health Organisation (PHO), our goal is to provide safe, effective and quality health care to our patients. We offer a range of services including general consultations, smoking cessation  right through  to our nurse led skin check clinics.

The medical centre is fortunate enough to be involved in teaching through the University of Otago Medical School and Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT).  You have the option of having a medical student or nursing student look after you. The practice is also involved in training future General Practitioners, so  you may be seen by a qualified Doctor who is training in General Practice. All trainee medical or nursing students are supervised at all times.

Services Provided

Cervical Screening

All women and people with a cervix aged 25 – 69 who have ever had intimate skin-to-skin contact or been sexually active should have regular cervical screening. This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. Together, regular screening and HPV immunisation provide the best protection against cervical cancer. There are now more options for how you have cervical screening done: a simple vaginal swab test for HPV, either done yourself or with help from a healthcare professional a cervical sample taken by a healthcare professional (used to be known as a smear test). Talk with your healthcare provider to decide which option is best for you. If HPV is found, you may need to have a follow-up test or be referred directly for colposcopy. If you’ve not yet had HPV testing, you should be screened 3 years after your last test (or 1 year if immune deficient). Once you have had an HPV test, and providing HPV is not found, your next screening will be in 5 years (or 3 years if immune deficient).

Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC)

LARC methods are very effective at preventing unplanned pregnancy and are “fit and forget” forms of contraception – you don’t need to remember them every day or every month. LARC methods: Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCD or IUD) are inserted through the cervix into a woman’s uterus. IUCDs may be either hormonal (Mirena® or Jaydess® ) or non-hormonal (copper IUCD). Jadelle® is a hormone-releasing implant that is inserted just under the skin of the upper arm. Depending on the type of device, it will need to be changed after between three and ten years. Read more about LARC methods here
  • Implant (Jadelle) inserts
  • IUD inserts
  • Free or subsidised contraception services (enquire for eligibility and details)
  • IUD removals
