Urgent Care

Urgent care facilities are here for when you need urgent medical attention.

If you’re not sure what to do or where to go, Healthline (0800 611 116) can provide advice 24/7.

24 Hour Surgery

Over the summer holiday period, presentations can be high at the 24 Hour Surgery. Always check our Facebook for the most up-to-date information.

If you have urgent medical concerns or need medical advice, please call Healthline on 0800 611 116.

For emergencies, always call 111 or go to Christchurch Hospital Emergency Department.

What will it cost?

All Urgent Care facilities will incur a cost depending on the type of consult.

Children under the age of 14 are free after hours.

Need a Medical Certificate after hours?

If you’re too sick to work or study and need to stay at home and rest, Pocket Lab can provide you with a medical certificate, sent directly to your email.

This is a great away to avoid a trip to an after hours clinic.

Virtual Consultations

Virtual consultations are a great way to see a clinician the same day without having to visit an urgent care/after hours clinic, when your general practice team is busy or closed.
