General Surgery  |  Gallbladder Pathway - Traditional Pathway

The traditional pathway is a referral to the Department of General Surgery requesting an Outpatient Clinic appointment for the patient. This would either be a faxed paper referral to the Tauranga Hospital Referral Centre, or an eReferral.

This referral is graded and, based on the grading, the patient is given an Outpatient Clinic appointment.
