Coughs, Colds, Flu Symptoms

We have a new purpose built designated consult room where we will see patients who have cough, cold or flu symptoms without bringing them into the Medical Centre.

If you have a cough, cold or flu symptoms, please advise our receptionist when you phone to make an appointment.  

We are here to help, however it is important we keep you and our staff safe.

Lumsden Medical Centre is proud to be part of the Northern Southland Community based in the town of Lumsden.

The Primary Health Organisation we belong to is Wellsouth. They support the practice in delivering a variety of services to improve the health of our Southern Population.

Our Practice provides quality patient focused healthcare. We are available for Primary Care and supporting our patients health needs. We are committed to delivering the best possible service for all our patients whatever their needs.

Our clinical team of doctors and nurses have undergone extensive medical training to equip them with the knowledge and diverse skills to provide care and friendly advice to individuals and families in our community. From time to time, they may be unavailable as they attend further training courses to up skill and continue their medical training. Click here to meet our team.

General Practice is your first stop when you have a concern about your health. We offer 15 minute appointments. We can refer you to a specialist should you need further care.

Lumsden Medical Centre takes pride in having achieved Foundation Standards in 2016 & 2020 (slightly later due to COVID) and achieving Reaccreditation every 3 years.
