New Brighton Health Care History
NBHC was initially established by John and Sally Cook with the official opening on the 14th of April 1978. At that time it was called New Brighton Medical Rooms.
The aim was to have a friendly family practice from the first interaction through to the final treatment, one that respected the faith the community had in it. At some stage it became too busy for the two to manage without help and that’s when they recruited Sandy as a Receptionist and Dr. Paul McCormack as a partner, both joining in April 1979.
A number of doctors, nurses and receptionist staff have worked at this practice over the more than 30 years we have been opened and the diversity of these people has been exciting.
The practice continues to grow and, although some of the people working here changed, the overall feeling is the same – that of a friendly staff who enjoy each other’s company, but most of all enjoy the job and the people that interact within the community. New Brighton Health Care received its Cornerstone Accreditation from The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners in 2010 having met the standards defined by Aiming for Excellence.
NBHC is a teaching practice for training general practitioners and is currently hosting medical students from the School Of Medicine ( University of Otago ).
Payments
Payment is required at the time of consultation unless by prior arrangement with the management or your doctor. We recognize that sometimes can be difficult to afford medical care so we offer a a unique weekly payment scheme that allows you to pay a little each week and so you get access health care when you need it. Talk to your GP, Practice Nurse or Receptionist about how you can become part of this scheme. If you have a community service card you may be eligible for a disability allowance which would cover part of your medical costs. Please feel free to discuss this with your GP or Practice Nurse. They may also consider, using at their discretion, other funding schemes to financially support your consultation. Please check our current fees.
Complaints procedure
Please let us know if there is anything we could improve on or offer. We are always looking at ways to improve the services we deliver. If you are unhappy about the care you have received please let us know by emailing your complaint to reception@nbhc.pegasus.net.nz and one of the practice management team members will manage your complaint professionally and keep you informed of the process.

Our after hours care is provided by the 24 Hour Surgery at the Corner of Bealey Avenue and Colombo Street – phone 3657777. Please contact them if you have any concerns out of our business hours.
