Description
Kia ora.
At alert level 4 we are making a number of changes to keep you and our staff safe:
- We are converting outpatient clinic appointments to telephone of video appointments where possible – you’ll be provided with all the information you need.
- We are still seeing patients in person who require urgent appointments. If you have an in person appointment and have any COVID-19 symptoms or have been told by public health to isolate please phone the number on your appointment letter in advance.
- Unfortunately most of our planned surgery is being rescheduled. Acute and critically urgent surgery will still go ahead as usual.
- We are trying to contact our patients to confirm their appointment or to reschedule them.
- Visitor restrictions are in place at the moment – you can visit Auckland DHB website for more information.
The situation is changing so please continue to visit the Auckland DHB website for updates.
