Coming for an operation or procedure
Helping families have the best possible experience when visiting the Starship Operating Rooms
Welcome to the Starship Operating Rooms
Our team is specially trained to look after every child, tamariki and young person who passes through our department.
This information is written mainly for parents, so you might want to explore the information first and choose what you would like to share with your child.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Cultural Support
If you would like cultural support or have religious requirements, we offer a number of services. Ask your Clinic Nurse or Specialist Doctor if you require the support of Kaumātua/Kuia, contact with Kaiatawhai services or support from the Pacific Health services.
Where possible we will continue to support individual cultural requests within your operating room stay.
For further information on cultural and other support services, visit the ADHB patient support website here.
