Our Outpatient Department houses visiting specialists that come to Balclutha to hold their specialist clinics. We offer a wide range of clinics from Clutha Health First, which helps the people of the Clutha District with reducing the travel to our base provider in Dunedin for appointments. Our Outpatient Department is staffed by administration staff, nursing staff and a medical typist.
