Looking for Stoke Medical Centre in Nelson? The official clinic entity is Stoke & Waimea Medical, with the Stoke site at Main Road Stoke. Use this guide to choose the right next step: call, book, use myindici, request a repeat prescription, check fees, find after-hours care, prepare for an appointment, or avoid confusing the Stoke and Waimea locations.
This page is built for verified patient usefulness, clear next-step routing, mobile UX and entity clarity. It is independent, not the official clinic website, and it does not provide diagnosis or treatment advice.
Emergency warning: In New Zealand, call 111 if you need an ambulance, police or fire emergency help, or if you cannot decide whether the situation is an emergency. For free non-emergency health advice when you are worried or unsure, call Healthline 0800 611 116.

Stoke Medical Centre quick answer for Nelson patients
Stoke Medical Centre is now presented publicly under the official entity name Stoke & Waimea Medical. The Stoke site is listed by the official clinic website as 470 Main Road Stoke, Stoke 7010. Healthpoint lists the same Stoke location as 470 Main Road Stoke, Stoke, Nelson 7011, so use the official website and map before travelling.
The official contact page lists the phone number as 03 547 7488, email as reception@stokewaimeamed.nz, and hours as Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with Saturday and Sunday closed. Appointment and prescription booking requests should be made by phone or through the myindici patient portal.
The official appointments page says appointments can be made by phoning the practice between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday. It also says patients who want to book online can sign up for myindici, but urgent same-day appointments still need to be arranged by phone.
Stoke Medical Centre patient tools before you call
These tools do not diagnose symptoms, suggest treatment or decide whether you need medicine. They only help you choose a safer contact route: 111, Healthline, clinic phone, myindici or routine appointment preparation.
Tool 1: next-step finder
Choose your situation and timing. The result will show a contact route, not medical advice.
Your route will appear here
Select both fields. The tool will show general contact-route guidance only.
- Emergencies should go to 111.
- Same-day concerns are usually better handled by phone.
- Routine online tasks may suit myindici if you have portal access.
Tool 2: repeat prescription readiness checker
Use this before requesting a repeat so you do not leave medicine planning too late.
Prescription guidance will appear here
The official myindici page says repeat prescriptions can be requested via myindici, may take up to two working days, and urgent prescriptions should be arranged by phone with an additional fee.
Tool 3: appointment preparation builder
Pick your appointment type. This helps you ask reception the right question.
Your checklist will appear here
This helps reduce mistakes such as booking too short, forgetting medicine details, choosing the wrong site or using portal booking for urgent needs.
Opening hours, phone, email and contact route
The official contact page lists Stoke Medical at 470 Main Road Stoke, Stoke 7010 and Waimea Medical at 57 Salisbury Road, Richmond 7020. Both are under Stoke & Waimea Medical, and patients may need to confirm which site their appointment is at before travelling.
The same contact page lists 03 547 7488 as the telephone number and reception@stokewaimeamed.nz as the email. It also says prescription and appointment booking requests should be made by telephone or through the myindici patient portal.
How to book the right Stoke Medical Centre appointment
The official appointments page says appointments can be made by phoning 03 547 7488 between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Patients who want to book their own appointment online can sign up for the myindici patient portal.
The important detail is the urgent same-day rule: the official appointments page says if you wish to book an urgent same-day appointment, you still need to ring in. Standard email requests are not available for this. That is the type of micro-detail that stops a patient choosing the wrong channel.
Decide whether this is urgent, same-day or routine
Call 111 for emergency symptoms. Phone the practice during opening hours for urgent same-day concerns. Use Healthline when the clinic is closed and you are worried but it is not clearly an emergency.
Use phone when the situation needs explanation
Phone if symptoms are new, worsening, unclear, urgent, medicine-related, form-related, procedure-related or you are unsure whether you need GP, nurse or urgent care.
Use myindici for suitable routine tasks
The portal may be suitable for routine appointment management, repeat prescriptions, virtual consultations, paying bills, viewing lab results and reading doctor comments when portal access is active.
Ask which site your appointment is at
Stoke & Waimea Medical operates both Stoke and Richmond sites. Confirm whether your booking is at 470 Main Road Stoke or 57 Salisbury Road, Richmond.
Prepare before attending
Bring medication details, allergies, relevant letters, ID if requested, Community Services Card if relevant, and any forms. Ask about fees before non-standard appointments.
What to say when you call reception
Reception cannot diagnose you, but clear wording helps the team route your request. Use short, useful details. Do not hide urgent symptoms inside a vague request.
For same-day symptoms
“I feel unwell today. Symptoms started [time/day]. They are getting better/worse. Should I book, speak to someone, or use urgent care?”
For routine booking
“I need a routine GP appointment. Is my regular doctor available, and is this at Stoke or Waimea?”
For repeats
“I need a repeat prescription. It is routine/urgent. Should I use myindici or phone arrangement?”
For skin checks
“I need a skin check or mole check. Is this a full skin check, spot check, or procedure consultation, and what fee applies?”
For medicals or forms
“I need a driver licence medical, certificate or form. How much time should I book, and what paperwork should I bring?”
For site confusion
“Can you confirm whether my appointment is at 470 Main Road Stoke or 57 Salisbury Road Richmond?”
myindici patient portal, repeat prescriptions and online-service limits
Stoke & Waimea Medical’s myindici page says myindici is a secure patient portal that allows patients to access personal health information from an internet device within New Zealand. It says the service is available for patients over 16, and patients under 16 may be eligible subject to clinical approval.
The portal page says patients can book and manage appointments, request repeat prescriptions, attend virtual consultations and pay bills. It also says lab results can be visible with doctor comments, and patients should read those comments and take any recommended action.
Good uses for myindici
- Routine appointment booking with your regular doctor where possible.
- Repeat prescription requests when routine timing is acceptable.
- Viewing lab results and doctor comments when available.
- Virtual consultation access where offered and appropriate.
- Paying bills through the portal when available.
Phone instead when
- You need an urgent same-day appointment.
- You require a prescription urgently.
- Your medicine has changed or caused new symptoms.
- You do not understand a result or symptoms are worsening.
- You need a nurse appointment, because the portal says nurse appointments are not able to be booked on myindici except flu vaccine clinics during flu season.
Repeat prescription timing
The official myindici page says repeat prescription requests can be made via myindici and may take up to two working days to be produced. Fees apply and need to be paid when requested. If a prescription is needed more urgently, the page says to contact the practice by phone to arrange an urgent prescription, and an additional fee applies.
Fees and charges patients usually search for first
Fees can change, and final costs depend on age, enrolment, Community Services Card status, casual/visitor status, appointment type and whether extra time, materials or procedures are needed. Use the figures below only as public fee examples from the official fee page reviewed for this guide, then confirm directly before booking.
The official fee page lists “Fees at 5 January 2026” and says the Government subsidises basic consultations for eligible patients enrolled with the practice. It also says all other consultation types and services attract a fee reflecting unsubsidised doctor or nurse time and any materials used.
Ask reception before booking
- Am I being charged as enrolled, casual, visitor or non-funded?
- Does my Community Services Card apply to this appointment?
- Is this GP, nurse, nurse practitioner, skin check, medical, prescription or procedure pricing?
- Will extra time, materials, dressings, ECG, injections, spirometry, cryotherapy or infusions add a charge?
- Is payment needed before, during or after the appointment?
Avoid avoidable cost problems
- Request repeats early so you do not need urgent prescription handling.
- Ask if your issue needs more than 15 minutes.
- Confirm skin check, medical and procedure fees before booking.
- Check whether you are booked at Stoke or Waimea before travelling.
- Bring your Community Services Card or relevant eligibility documents.
After-hours care for Stoke and Nelson patients
The official appointments page lists after-hours care as Medical & Injury Centre, 98 Waimea Road, Nelson, phone 03 546 8881, open 8am–10pm every day. The Medical & Injury Centre’s own public website also says it is open 7 days a week, 8am–10pm, for people whose own doctor is not available.
Use the route carefully. After-hours urgent care is not the same as emergency ambulance care. If you need an ambulance, or you cannot decide whether the situation is an emergency, call 111.
Call 111 immediately
Use 111 for severe, sudden, life-threatening, unsafe or rapidly worsening symptoms, or if you cannot decide whether it is an emergency.
Call Healthline
Use Healthline 0800 611 116 for free non-emergency health advice when you are worried, unsure, cannot access a GP, or need medicine advice.
Medical & Injury Centre
Use the official after-hours route for urgent physical care when your regular doctor is unavailable and the situation is not a 111 emergency. Confirm directly before travelling if possible.
Routine care can wait
Non-urgent repeats, follow-ups, forms, screening and routine appointments are usually better handled with the practice during weekday opening hours or through myindici if appropriate.
Stoke Medical, Waimea Medical and why the name can confuse patients
The page title uses “Stoke Medical Centre” because that is how many patients search. However, the official current entity is Stoke & Waimea Medical. The practice lists two sites: Stoke Medical at Main Road Stoke and Waimea Medical at Salisbury Road, Richmond.
This matters because a patient can book correctly but travel to the wrong site. Always confirm the appointment location, especially if you normally attend one site but your clinician or appointment is scheduled at the other.
Stoke Medical site
470 Main Road Stoke, Stoke, Nelson. Use this for the Stoke location, but confirm your appointment site before travel.
Waimea Medical site
57 Salisbury Road, Richmond. This is a separate location under the same practice group.
GP services, nursing services and what to confirm first
Stoke & Waimea Medical’s “What we offer” page lists care for long-term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, minor operations, skin checks, cryotherapy, health advice, preventative health and screening, blood pressure checks, blood taking, wound care, childhood immunisations, cervical screening, medicals including driver licence medicals, Aclasta infusions, spirometry and ECGs.
Do not assume every service is available through a standard routine appointment or online booking. Some services may need a specific doctor, nurse, clinician, longer appointment, special clinic, materials, extra fee, or prior assessment.
Skin checks
The official skin checks page lists full skin checks, mole checks and treatments. It also lists a $190 fee for a 30-minute full skin check, with possible extra cryotherapy charges.
Minor operations
Ask whether you need an assessment before booking a procedure and whether a separate fee, clinician or appointment length applies.
Nursing services
Nurse appointments may need specific clinic booking and are not generally bookable through myindici, except flu vaccine clinics during flu season.
Blood tests and diagnostics
The services page lists blood taking, blood pressure checks, ECGs and spirometry. Ask what preparation, timing and fee applies.
Medicals and forms
Driver licence medicals, certificates and forms may need extra time and different charges. Bring paperwork and ask before booking.
Preventative care
Screening, immunisations and long-term-condition care may have recall, eligibility or appointment-type rules. Confirm with the clinic.
Patient checklist before you call, book or attend
A good checklist reduces repeat calls, missed information and wrong-site travel. Use this before phoning, booking through myindici or attending the Stoke site.
Before calling
- Write your main reason in one short sentence.
- Note when symptoms started and whether they are improving or worsening.
- Have medicine names, allergies and important conditions ready.
- Know whether you need GP, nurse, prescription, forms, skin check or urgent care.
- Ask whether your appointment is at Stoke or Waimea.
Before visiting
- Confirm the appointment time and location.
- Bring ID, Community Services Card and eligibility documents if relevant.
- Bring forms, letters, discharge summaries or test details.
- Bring a medicine list and any recent pharmacy changes.
- Allow time for parking, check-in and any forms.
Common mistakes that cause delays or wrong routing
- Using email for appointment or prescription requests: the official contact page says prescription and appointment booking requests should be made by telephone or through myindici.
- Using online booking for urgent same-day needs: the official appointments page says urgent same-day appointments still need to be arranged by phone.
- Leaving repeats too late: the myindici page says repeat prescriptions may take up to two working days.
- Forgetting urgent prescription fees: the myindici page says urgent prescriptions should be arranged by phone and an additional fee applies.
- Booking at the wrong site: confirm Stoke versus Waimea before travelling.
- Assuming nurse appointments are portal-bookable: the myindici page says nurse appointments are not able to be booked on myindici, except flu vaccine clinics during flu season.
- Thinking a skin check is a normal short consult: the official skin checks page lists a 30-minute full skin check and separate fee.
- Using this page as medical advice: this page is only an independent directory guide.
