Book the Correct Appointment the First Time

Cambridge Medical Centre asks patients to focus on one main problem during a standard consultation. Tell reception when several concerns or complex paperwork require more time.

What you need Best first action Why What to prepare
One routine concern MyIndici or phone A standard consultation slot may be suitable. Main symptom, duration and current medicines.
Several health concerns Ask for a double appointment The practice has a one-problem-per-consultation policy. Prioritised list of concerns.
Urgent or worsening symptoms Phone reception A nurse can triage the problem and discuss same-day options. When symptoms began and what changed.
Annual medication review Phone reception The clinic can choose a GP or advanced nurse appointment. All medicines, doses and recent monitoring.
Medical or specialist assessment Phone reception Driving, diving, employment, insurance and ACC medicals need special scheduling. Relevant form, ID and required test information.
Vaccination or travel health Follow the clinic’s service instructions Stock, questionnaires and preparation may be required. Vaccine history, destinations and departure date.
Procedure or minor surgery Phone reception Skin checks, mole removal and injections need the correct clinician and time. Referral, previous results and procedure details.
Mental-health or complex consultation Request additional time A normal portal slot may be too short. Main priorities and support needs.

Reception script

“Kia ora, my main concern is ____. It began ____. I also need help with ____. Should I book a standard appointment, double appointment, nurse clinic or urgent triage?”

Who can use MyIndici?

MyIndici is available to registered Cambridge Medical Centre patients aged 16 or older who have their own email address. Parents or legal guardians can ask to link a child’s record until the child turns 16.

What can MyIndici do?

The portal can be used to book suitable standard appointments, request repeat prescriptions, view results and communicate with a nurse or administrator.

Do not use online booking for: medicals, annual medication reviews, childhood vaccinations, travel consultations, procedures, minor surgery, complex mental-health appointments, several concerns or extended visits. MyIndici access is also restricted to New Zealand and Australia.

MyIndici login security

The clinic’s instructions explain that multi-factor authentication may require two one-time codes. Keep the login page open while checking text messages, then return to enter each code.

New-Patient Enrolment and Records Transfer

Cambridge Medical Centre currently states that it is accepting new enrolments. The May 2026 enrolment PDF explains the identity, eligibility, consent and record-transfer steps.

Prepare these documents

  • Photo ID for every applicant aged 16 or older.
  • New Zealand passport or driver licence when born in New Zealand.
  • Passport and current visa when born overseas.
  • Citizenship certificate when required.
  • Current medicine, supplement and allergy list.
  • Previous medical-centre details for record transfer.

Each person needs a separate form

Everyone aged 16 or older must complete and sign their own form. A parent or authorised caregiver signs for a child under 16.

Medical-record transfer is part of enrolment

The current form states that the previous practice has ten working days to transfer records. Cambridge Medical Centre may not arrange the initial new-GP appointment until those records arrive.

Medication planning: the enrolment PDF tells patients to make sure they have enough medication to cover a possible six-week transition period. Arrange this with the previous practice before transferring.

First medication review and GP appointment

New patients taking long-term medicines are asked to complete a nurse medication review, followed by a GP appointment. The paper form warns that the initial GP consultation may need to be a double appointment, with a double-appointment fee.

Heidi AI consent on the enrolment form

The May 2026 form includes separate options to consent to or decline Heidi AI consultation note-taking. It states that conversations are transcribed while they happen and that no recording is stored.

Electronic health-record choices

The form also asks whether you consent to authorised healthcare professionals viewing a summary through the Indici shared electronic health record and whether information can be shared with external healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Cambridge Medical Centre Fees

Payment and longer-appointment rules

The clinic accepts cash, EFTPOS, credit card and internet banking. Extended consultations can cost more. For patients over 14, a double appointment can be charged at twice the standard consultation fee; the PDF lists $40 for a double appointment for children under 14.

Repeat Prescriptions and Medication Reviews

Registered patients can request repeat medicines through MyIndici, the dedicated prescription voicemail, in person or through the prescription email address.

How to request a repeat

Safe-prescribing conditions

  • The service is for registered patients.
  • The medical condition must be stable.
  • At least an annual review is required.
  • Some medicines require more frequent reviews.
  • Antibiotic requests require an in-person consultation.
  • Controlled-drug rules may be stricter.

Standard and urgent processing

Standard requests are processed within two working days at the published fee of $27. Same-day or urgent processing is listed at $35 for registered patients.

Twelve-month prescription rules

The clinic says rules introduced in February 2026 allow some patients with stable long-term conditions to receive prescriptions lasting up to one year. The clinician decides whether this is safe; shorter prescriptions and closer reviews may still be required.

Do not wait until medicine runs out. If a medication review is overdue, book early. A short interim supply may sometimes be considered, but approval is not guaranteed.

Test Results and Follow-Up

The clinic advises allowing about three days for many laboratory and scan results. Some screening tests and histology can take up to three weeks.

How results are communicated

  • Abnormal results or further instructions are communicated.
  • Normal results are not routinely phoned through.
  • Results can be viewed in MyIndici.
  • Phone option 3 to request a nurse call-back.

Ask before leaving the consultation

  • When should the result be ready?
  • How will I be contacted?
  • Should I book a follow-up now?
  • What should I do if symptoms worsen?
Tests ordered by a hospital or specialist: contact the service that requested the test, because Cambridge Medical Centre may not be responsible for releasing that result.

Travel-clinic timing

Complete one travel questionnaire for each traveller. The clinic recommends contacting it at least one month before departure. A fee may apply when a prepared travel appointment is cancelled within two working days.

Walk-In Urgent Care and After-Hours Help

The Cambridge Medical Centre walk-in clinic is for acute illness and non-life-threatening injury. Its weekday roster changes, so check the official page immediately before travelling.

  • Wounds, burns and minor procedures.
  • Sports injuries, sprains and possible broken bones.
  • Cuts, bruises, rashes, bites and urinary infections.
  • School, childcare and workplace incidents.
  • Acute illnesses that meet urgent criteria.

Everyone is triaged by a nurse in consultation with a GP and prioritised according to clinical need. A problem that does not meet urgent criteria may be booked as a routine appointment.

Do not rely on an old weekly roster copied elsewhere. The clinic updates day-specific hours and holiday closures on its urgent-care page.

How to Request Medical Records

The practice states that a records request can take up to 20 working days, depending on the amount of information and the time needed to compile it.

Complete the official request form

  • Enter full name, date of birth and NHI when known.
  • Select email delivery or printed collection.
  • Request all information or specify dates, conditions or treatments.
  • State information that should not be disclosed.
  • Sign and date the declaration.

Email delivery rules

The PDF requires a photo-ID copy for email delivery. It says only ten years of records will be emailed, using password protection and multiple attachments where needed.

Medical independence from age 16

The practice explains that patients aged 16 or older are medically independent. Parents or guardians do not automatically retain access. A patient can sign an Information Sharing Consent Form at reception and can later withdraw that consent.

Late, Cancellation and Missed-Appointment Policies

These rules come from the clinic’s current linked fee PDF.

More than 7 minutes late

You may be asked to reschedule because there may not be enough time to provide safe care.

Less than 2 hours’ notice

A full consultation fee may apply for patients over 14; the PDF lists $40 for patients under 14.

Did not attend

The published charge is the full consultation fee for patients over 14 and $40 for patients under 14.

Payment policy: fees are required on the day. The PDF says a $5 account-administration charge may apply when payment is placed on account.

Map, Accessibility and Before-Leaving-Home Checklist

Cambridge Medical Centre is at 48 Alpha Street. Healthpoint lists wheelchair access. Pathology, pharmacy and medical imaging services are also available at the wider site, but each is a separate provider.

Separate-provider warning: the on-site pharmacy, pathology and imaging services have their own hours, fees and appointment rules. Do not assume the GP reception manages those services.
