Please remember, limiting our interactions with others is our best defence against COVID-19. Please don’t visit the hospital if you don’t need to. The following level 2 visitor restrictions are in place for all Canterbury DHB health facilities:

  • Visitors will be screened and asked to provide contact details upon arrival
  • Visitors who are unwell or have suspicion of COVID-19 will not be able to enter
  • Aged residential care: no visitors, however, family visits for palliative care residents who do not have COVID-19 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

When taken correctly with regular reviews by your doctor, medications can improve your health and prolong your life.

Taking the wrong medicines – or taking the right medicine at the wrong time or in the wrong way – can make you seriously ill and cause long-term health problems.

Find out how to make sure your medication programme is up-to-date with the Medication Management Service, your GP, practice nurse, or pharmacist.
