As a general practice clinic and counselling service, we don't cover all aspects of healthcare. For example, we don't offer:
- X-rays or other scans—we will refer you to a radiology clinic.
- Physiotherapy—although there is a private physiotherapist who offers appointments at Kelburn campus.
- Dental care—you need to see a private dentist.
- Glasses, contacts, and eye care—you need to see a private optometrist.
