Our History
Riccarton Clinic and After-Hours Medical Centre was founded in August 1991 by Dr Charlie Baycroft and Dr Andrew Gin as the first independent after-hours medical practice in Christchurch. This was an innovative step at the time and provided patients with an affordable and high-quality service for their daily general practice and after hour's needs.
We moved into new purpose-built facilities in 2007 which simultaneously extended the range of services and gave the opportunity to house many allied health organisations under the same roof.
Our clinic remained open every single day since despite the upheaval of moving to its current building, snowstorms and the Canterbury earthquakes.
In August 2021, we joined partnership with Tamaki Health, who has 52 General Practice and Urgent Care clinics throughout NZ.
We pride ourselves on being a dynamic General Practice and Urgent Care provider that adapts to ensure we always meet the healthcare needs of our community.
Our Culture
We currently have a team of 130+ professionals and are proud of our clinic values based on support, respect and teamwork.
