Care around the clock to continue throughout strike
14 January 2019
Care around the clock to continue
throughout junior doctors’
strike
To be attributed to: Dr
Michael Roberts, Chief Medical Officer, Northland
DHB
With the
New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association 48 hour strike
action starting tomorrow at 7am, Northland District Health
Board is reminding people that they can help take the
pressure off emergency services by always making their
general practice team the first port of call for their
health care needs.
Our Emergency Departments will remain open throughout, and you shouldn’t hesitate to dial 111 in a life-threatening emergency. However, for most other health care you should always call your own general practice team first or call Healthline on 0800 611 116. Calls to Healthline are answered by Registered Nurses and provide free health advice after-hours and, if you need to be seen urgently, they can tell you what to do and where to go.
People should not delay seeking medical treatment and remember, in an Emergency call 111.
