Patient portal update
Apologies for the delay in sharing this – we wanted to make sure we had the correct information before posting.
We want to reassure patients that our practice does not use Manage My Health (MMH).
We use MyIndici, and there has been no breach of our practice systems or GP-held patient information.
This week we were advised that 10 recently enrolled patients were identified by MMH as being part of their breach. This does not mean those patients’ GP records held by our practice were accessed.
MMH has since confirmed that the documents involved were limited to:
- Northland hospital documents sent directly to MMH, and
- documents self-uploaded by patients into MMH
MMH has also confirmed that data from GP systems is not part of the breach.
We have contacted all affected patients and they have been or will be contacted directly by MMH.

🌿 Patient Update: About Those 12-Month Prescriptions…
You may have seen ads suggesting everyone can now get a 12-month prescription. Unfortunately, that’s not quite how it works.
👉 Not everyone will qualify — especially if you need regular monitoring, blood tests, or medication adjustments.
👉 Only some medicines (like certain statins, thyroid meds, and vitamin D) are usually suitable.
👉 Your GP decides what’s safe based on your health needs — not advertising.
👉 Savings are not guaranteed and fees may vary between practices.
Our priority is always safe, high-quality care. We’ll prescribe 12-month scripts when appropriate and explain when they’re not the safest option.

Media Statement: Advertising for 12-Month Prescriptions Risks Misleading Patients
Recent advertising promoting 12-month prescriptions is creating expectations that are unrealistic, unhelpful, and in many cases not in patients’ best interests, says GenPro Chair Dr Angus Chambers.
