Tend is a healthcare app that connects you to a GP for video consultations or in-person visits at Tend clinics, designed to give fast, convenient access to primary care without forcing you to change your regular doctor. The app lets you see the next available doctor nationwide for same-day online care, or book a clinic appointment in Auckland, while also providing features like prescription ordering, test results, appointment notes and secure messaging so you can manage ongoing care from your phone.
