General Practice (GP) Service
Today
Description
Timaru Medical Centre as it is now, is the result of the merging of 5 General Practices from three different sites in Timaru, into a new purpose built facility. The first merge occurred in July 2017 amalgamating Hassall Street Surgery and the three other practices within Timaru Medical Centre in Harper Street. The second merge occurred a year later with the Better Health team from Elizabeth Street joining the practice. The result is the largest General Practice in South Canterbury with over 10 thousand patients catered for.

Services Provided
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).
