Inclusive and Safe Healthcare for Everyone 

At Ohope Beach Medical Centre, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for all patients, including the LGBTQIA+ and rainbow community. Everyone deserves compassionate care where they feel seen, heard, and supported.

We understand the unique health needs within the community, from gender-affirming care to mental wellbeing and general medical support. In Aotearoa, the term Takatāpui represents Māori with diverse genders and sexualities, recognizing that identity and culture are deeply connected. We honor this and strive to provide care that is inclusive and respectful of all identities.

Feeling safe with your healthcare provider is essential to wellbeing. That’s why we listen without judgment, tailor our care to your needs, and ensure our practice is a place where everyone belongs. If you have any questions or specific healthcare needs, please reach out—we are here for you. 

Diving Medical Examination 

At Ohope Beach Medical Centre, we offer professional Diving Medical Examinations to ensure you are fit to dive safely. As a trained Baro and Dive Specialist, I assess medical conditions that could pose risks underwater, such as heart, lung, and ear issues. Before your examination, you must complete a medical questionnaire to identify any potential concerns. If you answer "Yes" to any questions, a full medical assessment is required to determine if you can dive safely. This does not necessarily mean you cannot dive, but medical clearance is needed.

Diving is more enjoyable when you are well-prepared and confident in your health. A proper medical assessment ensures that you can focus on exploring the underwater world without unnecessary risks. Knowing you are fit to dive enhances both safety and peace of mind. I work closely with the Dive Specialist teams in Devonport and Christchurch, as well as local dive schools, to provide the best support for divers. If any medical concerns arise while you are overseas, I can offer guidance and assistance where possible.

Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care across all areas of health, ensuring that every individual receives the support they need to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
