Clinic hours

The surgery is open from 8am each working day and appointments can be made from 8.30am to 5.00pm. Please note we also run an evening clinic with Dr Andre Bonny on either a Tuesday or Wednesday from 6.00pm to 8.30pm.

Our phones are answered between 8.30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours they are directed to the after-hours service.

Appointments for enrolled patients and urgent cases can usually be made on the day.

Prescriptions can be requested by phone from 8.30am to 5pm, or by using our patient portal, Well.

Our nurses are available for appointments from 8.30am to 5.00pm from Monday to Friday.

Appointments

We aim to provide appointments with the doctor of your choice in as timely manner as possible. In urgent situations we cannot guarantee being able to see a specific doctor as it depends on who has available appointment space. 

It is worth noting that our usual appointment time is 15 minutes. If you think you will need more time due to the nature of your visit please let us know when booking. If keeping on time is especially important for you we suggest you book an appointment at the start of a morning or afternoon session.

We are aware that there can sometimes be delays from arriving at the health centre and being called in to see the doctor. These usually relate to unexpected emergencies or other complex medical situations. Where possible we try to contact you to let you know there could be a delay. If you have a tight schedule it can be helpful to phone in advance to check that we are running on time. We appreciate patients’ punctuality to keep things running on schedule.

If you have any questions or comments about appointments please talk to our practice manager.

After hours

After-hours calls are initially put though to a nursing triage service that can give medical advice and there is a free 24 hour telephone health advice at Healthline, 0800 611 116.

There is also the Medical and Injury Centre at 96 Waimea Road, Nelson, which is open 7 days a week from 8am to 10pm, phone 03 546 8881. If there is a medical emergency and delay in reaching the duty doctor, phone 111.

Home visits

Home visits and urgent call outs are normally restricted to patients who live in the Mapua and Moutere districts. Those living in other areas may need to consider contacting the local medical service in that area or attend the Medical and Injury Centre.

Emergencies can go directly to the Accident and Emergency department at Nelson hospital.
