The Casting Clinic operates through the Accident and Medical Centre and provides timely, quality care to enrolled and casual patients. 

We provide a full range of services for most types of minor fractures.  If you have a more serious fracture, you will be treated appropriately in the Accident and Medical Centre then referred to Hawke’s Bay Hospital for further treatment. 

People working in the clinic 

The Casting Clinic is coordinated by two staff; a registered nurse – Joanna Sloan who has worked in the fracture clinic at the Hawke’s Bay Hospital and is experienced in casting, and the duty Accident and Medical Doctor.

Services    

The clinic is conducted in a room which has been especially decorated in a way that helps our younger patients relax and has all the modern equipment you would expect at Hastings Health Centre.  If an x-ray is required, this is completed in Radiology, across the hall.

A range of cast colours are offered, crutches are available to hire, waterproof liners are available for appropriate casts and extensive education is given regarding cast care.
