WDHB Online Appointment Booking

We are now offering an online appointment booking service for some of our outpatient clinics at North Shore and Waitakere Hospitals.

This new service will enable our patients to choose an appointment date and time that fits in with work, holiday and caring commitments, rather than being sent an appointment letter with a date and time that has been pre-selected by our booking teams.

When it is time to book your appointment, you will receive an email to your validated email address(external link) which will include a secure link to the online booking service. Appointment booking emails will only come from the following email address:  Waitematā DHB Appointment Booking (BookMyAppointment@outpatients.waitematadhb.govt.nz)

On clicking the booking link in the email, you will be asked to enter your date of birth as an extra authentication step. You will then be directed to the appointment booking page so you can choose a suitable appointment date and time and book your appointment.

Once your online booking has been made, we will send you a confirmation email with additional information about your appointment. You will also be able to reschedule or cancel appointments that you have booked online.

This exciting new initiative is being rolled out across a wider range of outpatient clinics over the next 12 months.
