Physiotherapy Referrals 18 Jul 2016

The Tauranga Hospital physiotherapy department have asked GP’s to avoid referring patients with ACC related physiotherapy needs  to the hospital.

The Tauranga Hospital physiotherapy department have asked GP’s to avoid referring patients with ACC related physiotherapy needs  to the hospital. The only exception is Hand Therapy.

All ACC patients can be seen in the community within private physiotherapy services with only a small part charge.

This just takes the pressure off the hospital service and therefore reduces waiting times for all other types of physiotherapy.

Thank you.
