• search_doctors

Give at least one of need, specialty, place or name. need = a condition, procedure or focus in plain English (e.g. 'ACL reconstruction', 'endometriosis', 'skin cancer', 'cataract surgery'); it is matched against the focus areas doctors list first, then the procedures their services list, their specialty, and their own profile text (not shown here). specialty = a name from list_specialties, a word from one (e.g. 'orthopaedic', 'ENT') or a plain word (e.g. 'eye', 'skin', 'heart'); matched word by word (word endings may differ, e.g. 'cardiologist', 'paediatrician'; not fragments inside words), and the reply's specialty_read_as lists the specialty names used. place = a New Zealand city, suburb, or region or Health NZ district (e.g. 'Christchurch', 'North Shore', 'Hawke's Bay', 'Hutt Valley'); when a town search leaves out doctors listed only on the wider region's

• get_doctor

  Evidence for New Zealand doctors from search_doctors: pass doctor_ids (up to 10 at once) or one doctor_id. Each different doctor you open counts toward a daily limit for your connection (replies show daily_doctor_limit when it matters); opening a doctor again the same day is free. Open the doctors you are seriously considering, not every result. Each doctor: specialties, title, qualifications, focus areas and subspecialties they list, further training, languages, whether their services see children; every private and public service with clinic addresses, phone numbers and websites, procedures and conditions the service lists, fee categories and fee lines, ages, hours, how to get referred, and whether it says Southern Cross Affiliated Provider or nib First Choice (insurer_notes also says whether the doctor's own page says so); the Medical Council register entry (status, scope of practice, conditions, qualifications, practising certificate); experience (each vocational scope with the dat

• search_gp_practices

  Free list of New Zealand general practices (GP clinics), or urgent care clinics, near a place, from Healthpoint. Use it when the person needs a GP, wants to enrol with a practice, or needs urgent but not emergency care. Each practice: whether it says it is enrolling new patients (yes; restricted = only some people, e.g. family of patients or people living nearby; no; does not apply = urgent care that does not enrol; unknown = the page does not say), the practice's own enrolment note, its fee table (the first fee table on its page, usually fees for enrolled patients by age, without and with a Community Services Card; with age, the row for that age), addresses, phone numbers, website, online booking link, languages, hours, the doctors listed there (doctor_ids for get_doctor) and the date Healthpoint says the page was last updated. In New Zealand most people enrol with one general practice: visits cost less once enrolled, and a GP referral is the usual way to a public specialist. Give pla
