From Monday, 3 November, Awanui Labs South Canterbury will join the rest of the South Island in offering online appointment bookings for patients who wish to choose the day and time of their visit to the collection centre.

Patients can now visit our bookings website, create an account, and book an appointment at a time that suits them — helping to reduce waiting times and improve convenience. While walk-ins will continue to be accepted, we find that many patients appreciate the ability to manage their time through online bookings.

Please let your patients know that booking is now an available option. A copy of a poster for display in your waiting room (advising how to make a booking) can be found here.

Thank you for your support in helping us make this service known to your patients.
