The Pacific Island Nurse Specialist Service is designed to assist Pacific people make the transition from hospital to home and to provide nursing follow-up. It also aims to prevent the need for hospital admission by offering community care and home visits. There is ongoing contact with GPs and primary-based (community) services focusing on health care and education.

The service is available Monday to Friday and contact can be made via the hospital switchboard. The nurses work in collaboration with the local Pacific Island Trust where other support and nurse-led clinics are available.
