Practice Plus Virtual Consult 

Practice Plus has been developed between Tū Ora Compass, Pinnacle Health Network, Think Hauora and Te Awakairangi Primary Health Organisations to increase access options for primary care. It involves a same day, after hours service in partnership with our GP network to secure a continuity of care between a virtual GP service and a patient’s regular GP team.

There is no need for patients to download an app or change their enrolled GP, to access this service. Practice Plus can be accessed through a practice’s website or via this link http://www.practiceplus.nz
