Description
The World Health Organisation defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease". At Manuka Health Centre, we believe nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management underpin good health and we will work with you on these issues to improve your well-being and help to prevent future disease.
We offer traditional General Practice services including minor surgery, cervical smears, annual skin checks, immunisations and contraception alongside an integrated approach which may also include herbs, nutrients and complementary therapies.
Upstairs@Manuka we have a range of health practitioners offering NLP/Hypnotherapy, counselling, acupuncture, nutrition, confidence coaching ,ear health, chiropractice and functional medicine.

Services Provided
All women and people with a cervix aged 25 – 69 who have ever had intimate skin-to-skin contact or been sexually active should have regular cervical screening. This includes women who have been immunised against HPV. Together, regular screening and HPV immunisation provide the best protection against cervical cancer. There are now more options for how you have cervical screening done: a simple vaginal swab test for HPV, either done yourself or with help from a healthcare professional a cervical sample taken by a healthcare professional (used to be known as a smear test). Talk with your healthcare provider to decide which option is best for you. If HPV is found, you may need to have a follow-up test or be referred directly for colposcopy. If you’ve not yet had HPV testing, you should be screened 3 years after your last test (or 1 year if immune deficient). Once you have had an HPV test, and providing HPV is not found, your next screening will be in 5 years (or 3 years if immune deficient).
