If your health emergency is not life threatening, but you cannot wait for an appointment with your usual doctor or healthcare provider, go to an after hours or urgent medical centre. They can help you with things like bad cuts, sprains or breaks, minor head injuries, or if you are feeling really sick. You do not need an appointment, you will be triaged by one of our nursing team upon arrival. Triaging is a key part of our service, ensuring that each patient is seen in order of clinical urgency.
Napier Urgent Care (previously City Medical) is a privately run urgent and after hour care service available daily (7 days) from 8am – 8pm. From 8pm to 8am seven days a week, Health New Zealand operates an overnight service from the same location. This afterhours service is staffed by two registered nurses supported by on-call telehealth. While we are co-located, these services operate independently.

Mask wearing remains an important way we can prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses in health and disability care settings. It is still recommended that you wear a face mask when visiting healthcare services. Please respect the healthcare facility or hospital's policy on masks when visiting.
You may be asked to wear a mask in particular situations or locations to help protect those at higher risk.
