Season’s Greetings to Our Bluff Community

December 12, 2025

With the upcoming departure of Dr Vicky Bickford, we understand there may be concerns regarding appointments and ongoing care. Please be reassured that arrangements are in place to ensure continuity of service at Bluff Community Medical Centre.

Our current and upcoming medical support includes:

- Dr Jordan Baker in-person consultations in Bluff every Monday, with telehealth appointments available on Thursdays.

- Urgent After Hours Service available at He Puna Waiora Wellness Centre Monday-Wednesday 6pm-9pm. We will update the community when this service expands.

- Daily appointments continue to be available in Bluff, with active recruitment of additional clinical staff. Daily appointments are also available at He Puna Waiora Wellness Centre in Invercargill for Bluff patients.

- Dr Daniel Wu returning in May, and at intervals throughout the year, to provide additional clinical support.

- Transport from Bluff (and back) to He Puna Waiora Wellness Centre available. Talk to our friendly administration team for more information.

We remain committed to supporting the Bluff Community Medical Centre to continue to provide reliable, accessible, and high-quality healthcare for the Bluff community. Thank you for your ongoing trust and support.
