Protect your child against most HPV cancers
In 2017, free HPV immunisations were extended to boys for the first time, with about two thirds of parents choosing to immunise their children through their school immunisation programme.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.
Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv
Dr. Moss Retirement Announcement and Details
Dr Moss, Specialist Gynaecologist, at Riverside Women’s Healthcare, will be retiring in December, with her last consultation day scheduled for December 12, 2024.
Unfortunately, we have not yet found a successor. She will cease performing major surgeries, such as hysterectomies at the end of October to ensure that all post-operative follow-ups are completed before her retirement. However, she will continue to conduct minor surgeries until her final operating list on 6th December, which allows time for follow-up on results.
During November she will stop seeing most new patients except for urgent issues and will focus solely on follow-up appointments until December.
An email will be sent to all existing patients of Dr Moss with more details closer to the date.
