Referral Expectations

Referrals to the General Paediatrics outpatient service are made by General Practitioners (GPs), Ministry of Education staff and ADHB staff. Patients are then assessed and treated as required, maintaining close communication with the family/whānau's primary care provider and with the expectation of timely referral back to primary health care.

Referrals are also received from tertiary subspecialist services within Starship and general paediatric teams around New Zealand for the purposes of co-ordination of care.

Referrals to the Toi Tu Kids programme are made directly to the Toi Tu Kids service itself. See the following link for further information. http://www.tehononga.org.nz/toi-tu-kids/
