2022 – Updates

Wednesday, 06 April 2022 / Published in Uncategorized

Please ensure you wear a surgical facemask whilst you are in our building as per covid19.govt.nz recommendations 21/09/2021

We are NO LONGER doing the Covid Booster Vaccinations if you are needing this service  (check this website)  https://vaccinatecanterburywestcoast.nz/covid-19-vaccination-clinics-in-christchurch-canterbury-west-coast/

Please use our facemasks and sanitiser. Social distancing is expected in our waiting room.

The waiting room is running a limited capacity to keep everyone safe – you may be asked to wait in your vehicle and will be invited into the building when the doctor is ready to see you.

This practice respects that some people are not able to routinely wear a mask and they have an exemption for this.  However, both our practice staff and other patients are in a particularly vulnerable situation with unmasked patients entering the building.

For those who have an exemption, it would be appreciated if you would consider wearing a mask for the short duration that you are here.

Flu Vaccinations NOW AVAILABLE (from the age of 6 months)  Please phone for an appointment.

COVID 19 – BOOSTER and JUNIOR VACCINATIONS UNAVAILABLE UNTIL the 1st August – due to staff shortage, we apologise for any inconvenience.

Kim Tozer

Receptionist

My name is Kim and I am the new receptionist at Burnside Medical Centre. For the past thirteen years I have worked in the Veterinary industry as both a vet nurse and more recently as a receptionist. A few months ago, I decided I needed a change so I applied for the reception job at Burnside. It has been quite a steep learning curve for me but I am slowly getting my head around it all and I enjoy a challenge. I have lived in Christchurch for thirty years now but was born and raised in Northland before that. I am married and have three adult children as well as two retired greyhounds. In my spare time I like to go for walks, especially around the port hills and in the forest. As well as reading and watching movies and cooking. I look forward to meeting you all.
