Referrals

Who can make a referral?

Patients can be referred to Te Kahu Pairuri Hospice Taranaki by their GP, hospital doctor, or medical specialist, or self-referral is possible.

However as it is a community organisation, anyone - be it the patient, family member or a health professional - should feel free to contact the hospice if they are concerned that any needs of someone living with a life-limiting illness are not being met.  It is important that before making this call you do have that patient's permission.

Phone Te Rangimarie 06 753 7830 to find out more.
