In an emergency
In a medical emergency, call 111 and ask for an ‘ambulance’.
The Emergency Department is for serious emergencies only, not for long-standing or minor injuries or illnesses which can be treated by your family general practice team or an after hours clinic.
Please see the information listed below about parking and transport for patients using Christchurch Outpatients services.
The hospital shuttle service from the Lichfield Street Car Park building will drop patients off and pick them up at the new Christchurch Outpatients building.
The drop-off / pick-up point will be at the rear entrance of the Outpatients building
– 245 Antigua Street – until the roadworks on Oxford Terrace are completed. This work is currently estimated to end in December 2018.
For more information on the hospital shuttle, see our Christchurch Hospital parking page.
We recommend using the hospital shuttle bus service from the Lichfield Street Car Park building, as there is only very limited on-street parking near the Outpatients building itself.
If you prefer to try to park nearer the hospital the nearest off-street car parking to the Outpatients building is a Wilsons car park on Antigua Street, but there are several other care parks within a short walk. See the City Council’s website for an up-to-date parking map.
See Christchurch Hospital for more detailed information about parking and transport.
There will be three mobility parking spaces at the rear entrance to the Outpatients building (245 Antigua Street).
Nine mobility parking spaces are available on-street near the Boatshed Café and a further 13 on the hospital site.
Until December 2018 drivers can drop patients off / pick them up – no waiting! – at the rear entrance of the building (245 Antigua Street) and park elsewhere.
- This area is very congested, including deliveries to the building.
- Volunteers and security personnel will be on hand to assist.
- When Oxford Terrace opens in December 2018 there will be a bigger drop-off zone outside the main Outpatients entrance.
- All drop-off parking will be P5 – Drop-off Only.
Several main bus routes travel directly past Christchurch Outpatients (see metroinfo.co.nz for more details). There are bus stops within 50 m of the building on both sides of Tuam Street.
