NZNO nurses, healthcare assistants and some midwives plan to strike from 9am on Wednesday 30 July to 9am on Thursday 31 July. Patient safety is our priority and our hospitals will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments unless we have contacted you directly to reschedule.
The Green Lane PCCS provides cardiology and cardiac surgical services for infants and children with congenital and acquired heart disease. It is the only provider of these services for Aoteraoa New Zealand and parts of the Pacific region.
The Green Lane PCCS is located on Level 3, Auckland City Hospital, in the link between Starship and Auckland City Hospital.
We provide cardiac (heart) care across a person's lifespan — from before birth (fetal cardiology) to caring for pēpiborn with heart problems (congenital heart disease) who are now adults.
With continued improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the number of patients we see is growing.
Inpatient care ranges from simple overnight procedures to complex heart operations.
We have an extensive network of outreach clinics. We also offer consultation and support to health professionals caring for patients within regional hospitals.
Our team is made up of health professionals from across many different areas, including:
Together we aim to provide the best possible care for tamariki and adults with congenital and acquired heart problems.
For tamariki living within the Auckland region, referrals can be made by your healthcare provider.
For tamariki living outside of the Auckland region, referrals are made mostly through a paediatrician in your region. In rural areas where this is difficult, a referral from your healthcare provider may be accepted.
If tamariki need urgent (acute) cardiac assessment, you will be asked to bring them to the Children's Emergency Department.
If your problem is not urgent, your referring healthcare provider will write a letter to PCCS asking for an appointment for your child in the outpatient clinic.
