Canterbury District Health Board

Fantastic team of people working here. Came to Ed when my hubby accidentally shut our toddlers thumb in the door, awful awful day made better by their competent, campassionate care. We were very impressed with everyone. Parking was not great but that's our only complaint.

Came into the ER with my partner for a gastric ulcer which was bleeding and the wait time was short. The reception staff were very lovely and helpful. The waiting room was quite busy but thankfully we were taken through to the beds quite quickly. The doctors and nurses were very attentive and my partner had to stay in a few nights. The parking outside is awful and had to park a few streets away.

In your time of need the team here take careful consideration with family of ill patients. The coronary care unit have very empathetic staff, and help everyone understand what has happened
