Children’s Specialist Centre Christchurch

Children’s Specialist Centre Christchurch understand that children create our world and adults hand them a legacy for the future. So what more important sector of society is there to protect, heal and nurture? The Children’s Specialist Centre in Christchurch was set up by four inspired doctors to provide a tailored and far-reaching facility to do just these things.

Deciding to embark on a mission targeted at diagnosing and treating health issues affecting children, adolescents and their families was a natural course of action for these medical specialists.

Already medical practitioners operating independently, the four connected as professionals while sharing knowledge, experiences and ideas. They realised that New Zealand lacked a cohesive child and adolescent health service that offered care for a broad spectrum of pediatric conditions.

Not only cohesive, but child, parent and family-friendly — key aspects which can impact the receptiveness of a patient to medical intervention and its long term success. A kind and sympathetic face at the front desk and echoed by each specialist enables parents and youngsters to relax, trust and have confidence in their healing for the duration of treatment.

The four directors collaborated at length to come up with a plan to create this culture of care with the idea to encourage the inclusion of several other specialists in time to come. When collaboration between doctors occurs, amazing ideas come to life in the form of industry-shattering health startups!

Diagnosing and mending the health of young humans from babyhood to adolescence can be a complicated and sometimes emotionally fraught process. The Children’s Specialist Centre understand the vulnerabilities this age group inevitably incurs so creating a facility which provides exemplary care in a comfortable and non-judgmental environment is a mandate the directors are committed to upholding and have done so since its inception in 2007.

The Children’s Specialist Centre evolved as part of a process determined by a little bit of fate and a lot of hard work to formulate an enterprise geared up to meet the brief, but the result for kids’ health has proven to be outstanding.
