Patient safety is our priority. Our hospitals and emergency departments will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments on the day of the strike unless we have contacted you to reschedule.
Older people's health and rehabilitation — Taranaki Base Hospital
The older people's health and rehabilitation service provides assessment, treatment and rehabilitation both as an outpatient service and an inpatient service (Ward 2A).
The clinic provides a range of services to help you rehabilitate and manage your long-term health conditions. Services may be in clinic or in your home.
Patients are encouraged to use their cell phones to maintain contact with family/whanāu and friends.
Family/whānau meetings will be arranged as needed. This is an opportunity for the patient and support people to meet with the hospital team to discuss ongoing care and
discharge planning. Where possible we aim to discharge patients by 11am.
