Jude Kirk (Practice Manager, UC Health Centre) confirmed that it is possible to obtain medical advice during Extended Hours – for International students, and students who are enrolled with the Health Centre. The contact information for a trained health professional at the Health Centre is 364 2402, or 6402 from a campus phone.

For students not enrolled at the Health Centre the recommendation is that they contact their own GP who will have other support information on their answerphone.

Enquiries for help can also be directed to:
•Riccarton Clinic : 4 Yaldhurst Road (Church Cnr) – open every day until 8pm. Their pharmacy is open daily until 8:30pm.
Phone: 03- 343 3661
•24 Hour Surgery : Cnr Bealey Avenue and Colombo Street, Christchurch 8014.
Phone: 03-365 7777
•Urgent Pharmacy : 931 Colombo St – Open daily until11pm.
Phone: 03-366 4439.

I have also noticed on the Health Centre’s webpage (http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/healthcentre/ ) that they have extended hours during Exams: Open until 5:30 or 6pm; and Saturdays 8:30am – 6pm

Please note that out there ‘somewhere’ is information that the UC Pharmacy is open until 11pm – this is not correct!
