Papanui Medical Centre
About the Business
Welcome to Papanui Medical Centre, located at 438 Papanui Road in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare services, we strive to be a point of interest for individuals seeking reliable medical care.
In light of the current circumstances, we would like to inform our patients about our approach to mask wearing and patient flows. While mask wearing is no longer required in healthcare settings, we strongly encourage our patients to continue wearing masks when visiting Papanui Medical Centre. This precaution is in place to safeguard against Covid and other respiratory infections that may still be present in our community. Rest assured, our reception provides masks for patients, and our clinical staff will continue to wear masks to ensure everyone's safety. If you prefer to wait in your car, please inform our reception team.
Our Healthcare Assistant team works closely with our medical professionals to ensure comprehensive care. You may receive a text message from them prior to your appointment with the doctor, requesting a meeting.
If you are experiencing mild or moderate cold or flu symptoms and are generally well, we advise you to call the Healthline number at 0800 358 5453 for advice.
We anticipate opening enrolments in October/November and have a waiting list in place. If you would like to enroll, please send your details to enrolment@pmc.co.nz. Additionally, if you are transferring from another practice or have a family member already registered with us, kindly inform us of their name.
Please be aware that starting from September 1, 2023, our fees will be adjusted due to inflationary pressure. For more information about our fees, please refer to the patient information/fees page on our website.
Standard appointments are scheduled for 15 minutes, allowing sufficient time to address one medical concern. In some cases, the doctor may request you to re-book if additional time is needed. If you anticipate requiring a longer consultation, we recommend booking a longer appointment to accommodate your needs.
We are thrilled to introduce Alice Barham, our Health Coach at PMC. Alice is an Associate Registered Nutritionist who specializes in assisting individuals with various health concerns, including nutrition, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep, habit forming, exercise, stress management, and mental health.
Please note that the active ingredient cilazapril is predominantly used in New Zealand, with only one source worldwide. In the event of a supply issue, it may be challenging for Pharmac to secure an alternative supply.
Lastly, we would like to inform our patients that not all available appointments are displayed on our online portal. If you require a same-day appointment, we kindly request you to call the practice to inquire about availability.
At Papanui Medical Centre, we prioritize your health and well-being. Our dedicated team of medical professionals is committed to providing exceptional care and guidance. Contact us today to book an appointment or learn more about our services.

Reviews
"The reception staff are amazing. Just saw them work under pressure and they were next level. Definitely went above and beyond. Not only are they friendly and helpful but spectacular in a stressful situation. Well done!! Hope the rest of your Thursday is a calm one with no surprises. The best Doctors, especially Dr Chaplin, Nurses and staff! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️All up the best Medical Centre! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Matt - the best GP nurse in Christchurch, honestly such kindness & compassion at a horrible time, all it takes is someone like him to make something awful feel just a wee bit better! They are under immense pressure at the moment, but his professionalism shines through and he makes you feel none of that stress and that you are worth his time. Best blood test taker also #didntfeelathing"
"I’m so grateful for the help and great service I’ve had from Dr Chaplin. She is the best doctor I have ever had - knowledgeable, practical and genuine, it is clear she really cares about offering quality health services. She is also down to Earth and puts you at ease. I’d also like to praise the wonderful reception staff who were so helpful during my first visit, especially the lovely people who emailed me all the useful info I needed. Thank you very much!"
"Last appointment was an hour wait long, with not even an apology or update. Finally got in to see a doctor and was told she will ring me within a few days to follow up on our discussion. I've emailed numerous times, had a poor excuse given by the Manager Janice, have rung and left messages, all to be ignored and haven't heard back since. Also have a given GP Linda Gibbs who pipes up every now and then to say something, but I have never met the woman once yet been at the centre for years. Papanui Medical has really gone downhill."
"A thoroughly contemporary practice with some excellent clinicians. I have been a patient here for some years and appreciate the on-line access to results, appointments, repeat prescriptions and more. A real move to involve patients in their own care. GP and specialist nurse both really good"
