ABOUT THE HOSPITAL
This Hospital is in the far north of NZ & it is a general hospital serving a widely scattered population. The 26 bed hospital has a general ward, maternity and paediatric ward with all the supporting services, and also provides a substantial community health service.
A recent hospital renovation has led to: a renovated maternity unit, new occupational therapy & emergency departments. A new after-hours facility, an enlarged day surgery unit and recovery area as well as a modern isolation room and refurbished general ward were also part of the refurb. An 8-station haemodialysis outpatient unit and new GP and outpatients’ consulting rooms along with relocation of the radiology department & improved working areas for nurses were all completed.
ABOUT THE REGION
Set in the gateway to the far north – it is the last major town before you reach the top of New Zealand. Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach are on the doorstep as is the Bay of Islands. The winterless north means outdoor activities are popular here all year round.
