Description

Welcome to Te Whatu Ora Lakes Clinical Physiology.

We are a small but diverse team performing cardiac, respiratory and neurological diagnostic tests.

We are a dedicated group, passionate about patient care and accurate diagnostic test outcomes to help guide clinical management.

What is Clinical Physiology?

Clinical Physiology is part of Clinical Support Service. We are made up of Cardiac Sonographers, Cardiac and Respiratory Physiologists and Physiology Technicians.

Tests we perform are:

  • ECG
  • Exercise Treadmill Tests (ETT)
  • Holter Monitors, Event Monitors
  • Blood Pressure Monitors
  • Echocardiograms (Echo)
  • Transoesophageal Echo (TOE)
  • Spirometry
  • Full Lung Function
  • Pacemaker and ICD follow up
  • Electroencephalograms (EEG)

(Read more about these tests below)

ETT and Full Lung Function tests are only performed at Rotorua Hospital.

Thanks to the Heart Scanner Appeal fundraising, Echo clinics run twice a week in Taupō Hospital.

Where to find us: We are located on the ground floor, please report to the Outpatients reception. See the Rotorua Hospital map here.

We provide Pacemaker and ICD follow up clinics, and Echo clinics at Taupō Hospital.
