Fairlie Medical Centre is a general practice on Ayr Street in Fairlie, in the Mackenzie district of South Canterbury. It is a general practice for families, and it offers ECGs, minor surgery, a skin clinic that uses liquid nitrogen, and drivers licence medicals. The practice is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. After hours, an on-call doctor's number is left on the answering machine. It is accepting some new patients to enrol, but with restrictions. We hear it closes for Labour Day on 26 October. For a small town like Fairlie, a GP who also does the local drivers licence medicals means many routine errands can be dealt with in one visit.
