Consultation and On-call Service

Oncology (Monday to Friday). We prefer to see most new referrals in outpatients so that patients can arrange for their families and support people to attend with them. We are always able to offer advice or to review inpatients if necessary. Phone the on-call Oncologist for advice if you are not sure about the urgency of a situation.
For non-urgent consults, fax referral to 86233 (internal) or 378 6233 (external). Some specialization exists and referral will be made to the appropriate Consultant. For urgent consults phone 80023 or 86271. For urgent consults after hours, contact the on-call Oncologist. It is departmental policy to re-admit patients who are receiving radiation or chemotherapy under our care.

The Christchurch Hospital Palliative Care Service is located within Oncology.
