Hours

Description

Kidz First Outpatient Care is located at MODULE 4 ,  Manukau SuperClinic™ , with some outreach clinics also available.
  
Outreach Clinic Locations: 
260 Botany Road, Howick 
Tuakau Road, Pukekohe
 
 
The Module 4  Manukau SuperClinic™  team consists of a Clinical Nurse Manager, a paediatric nurse and administrative staff who work with Kidz First Outpatient Care staff to ensure that patients receive an effective quality service.
 
Kidz First Outpatient Care clinics are led by specialist paediatricians who also provide supervision for paediatric doctors/medical students in training and paediatric clinical nurse specialists.
 
Referrals are received from a number of sources, usually General Practitioners (Family Doctor) , although in certain circumstances referrals are accepted  from other health and education professionals.   
   
Kidz First Outpatient Care also provides a valuable learning environment for a range of trainee medical staff including 5th year medical students and trainee interns.

Referral Expectations

Manukau SuperClinic™  Referrals and Appointments Centre receives all referrals.

Following acceptance of the referral it is then prioritised by a paediatrican. 

 This may result in the following:

  • appointment offered
  • placed on a waiting list
  • managed as a 'virtual' appointment with a clinical plan of care being communicated to the referrer and/or caregiver.

Appointments:

Once a suitable appointment time is agreed with the parent/caregiver a letter is sent to confirm appointment details.  A reminder letter is sent the week before the appointment and either a reminder phone call or text is sent to the parent/caregiver prior to the appointment. 

 It is very important that if a patient is unable to attend an appointment with Kidz First Outpatient Care that the parent/caregiver informs Manukau SuperClinic™ at the earliest opportunity so that this appointment can be offered to another child.
