Staying Safe at Doctors on Riccarton

Doctors on Riccarton is committed to providing an environment that minimises the transmission of COVID-19 and any other infections.

To protect staff and other patients, particularly vulnerable patients, we recommend everyone in our clinic to

  • Wear a mask if you have any Flu or Covid-like symptoms
  • Sanitise your hands when entering and leaving our building
  • Refrain from entering the clinic if you have Covid like symptoms
  • Answer our screening questions honestly

If you or your children have any Covid-like symptoms, we encourage patients to arrange a phone consult or a video consult. This way of seeing your doctor and other health providers helps maintain physical distance as much as possible to help reduce the transmission of Covid-19.

If you need a face-to-face consult while you have any COVID-like symptoms, please inform our receptionist. We can arrange a car park consult for you. The nurse and/or doctor will see you in the car park with Personal Protection Equipment (like masks, face shields and/or gowns).
