Description

The Sleep Service is a department within Respiratory Services at Lakes DHB. Our primary focus is to diagnose and treat patients with disordered breathing during sleep. This section is intended to guide you through your journey with our service.

We provide specialist outpatient services and can support inpatient care, when required.

The department is staffed by sleep nurses, sleep physiologists and medical staff.

Sleep Services include:

  • Sleep Study - test to confirm the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. It is a portable study that you can do from the convenience of your own home.
  • Long term treatment of OSA and follow up - we provide CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treatment and follow up for assistance in long term treatment.

Where to find us: see the Rotorua Hospital map here.

We also provide visiting services to Taupō Hospital.

Referral Expectations

Te Whatu Ora Lakes Sleep service receives numerous referrals every year, with each patient following the same care pathway. We endeavour to assess, investigate, and treat your sleep disorder as quickly as possible. With such a large number of referrals received each year there can be periods of waiting, and we thank you for your patience. It is also important to note there are some sleep disorders our service does not provide specialist care for. If you have been referred for a condition outside our scope we will let your doctor know.
