Outpatient Department

Our Outpatient Department offers a wide range of specialised clinics that are serviced by both local and visiting consultants that come to Oamaru. This helps the people of the Waitaki District with reducing the travel to our base provider in Dunedin for appointments. Our Outpatient Department is staffed by administration staff, nursing staff and a medical typist.

We house a range of both publicly funded and privately funded clinics on a mainly monthly basis from our Outpatient Department. Referrals are accepted from other healthcare providers to these clinics and are reviewed against the Ministry of Health criteria and then appointments are made accordingly.
