Same Day Acute Care

---

IF YOU HAVE CHEST PAIN, DIFFICULTY BREATHING OR OTHER EMERGENCY SYMPTOMS, CALL 111

The ambulance staff will direct you to us, if appropriate.

Upper Hutt Health Centre has a “book on the day” clinic for our patients during our open hours.

This is for those whose condition is acute in nature and cannot wait for a routine appointment.

This clinic is staffed by our own doctors, nurse practitioners and nurses who are rostered each day.

To make an appointment, ring 049201800 to speak with our reception team. If needed, they will refer you to a nurse to be triaged.

Cases will be seen in order of clinical priority, so you may have to wait.

If we have reached capacity for the day, we will give you other options where you can get help.
