history
The Riccarton Clinic and After Hours Medical Centre opened in August 1991 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 hours needs. The practice has remained open every day since.
The present directors Dr Angus Chambers and Dr David Anderson had worked at the clinic for many years prior to taking over its management and ownership in April 2000, and still work in the practice full-time today. The practice continues to grow under their guidance and, in 2007, moved into new purpose built facilities which simultaneously extended the range of services.
