Linwood Medical
Centre offering
new Sick Kids Clinic
With winter around the corner, cold
and flu season is now upon us. As a result,
general practices tend to be busier and
it can often be more difficult to get an
appointment.
Linwood Medical Centre is trying to
change that.
Beginning 5 June, the medical centre
will be providing a Sick Kids Clinic to
streamline visits for children with acute
health needs. At the end of each morning
and afternoon, appointments will be
available for children under 14. These
appointments will be with a nurse who
will be able to provide letters for schools
and advice to parents to help get their
child well.
General Practitioners (GPs) will be
available to see the child if the nurse
has additional concerns or believes a
prescription is needed.
Parents will need to call the medical
centre to schedule an appointment for
their child. Enrolled patients will have
priority and the visits will be free as
always to children under 13. If a nonenrolled
child needs to be seen, the cost
will be just $20.
The clinics will streamline appointments
for sick kids and provide the best service
possible for as many children as need to
be seen.
Linwood Medical Centre is located
upstairs in Eastgate Shopping Centre next
to The Loft and the Linwood Library. The
Centre provides extended hours general
practice, with it’s own social worker, and
specialised nurse services like B4 School
Checks, diabetes education, and smear
clinics. Linwood Dispensary, Physio
South and Bubs4u Midwifery Care Nurse
Maude district nursing, and CDHB Older
Persons health are also located inside the
Centre.
Next door, The Loft
www.theloftchristchurch.org.nz provides
numerous social services.
