Dunedin Urgent Doctors and Accident Centre has onsite X-ray facilities, allowing us to assess suspected fractures quickly. Initial treatment can usually be provided during your visit and may include X-rays, splinting or casting, and pain management.
We also provide ongoing fracture care and follow-up to help monitor healing and support your return to normal activities.
Our fracture clinic runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, by appointment. You may be referred by your GP, or follow-up can be arranged after your initial visit to Dunedin Urgent Doctors.
We manage a wide range of injuries onsite. If needed, we can refer you to Dunedin Hospital for specialist assessment and ongoing care.
Regular clinics to allow prompt treatment
Our fracture clinic is designed to provide follow-up care after the initial treatment of a fracture. During these appointments, we check how the bone is healing, review X-rays if needed, and make sure the fracture remains well supported in a cast or splint. We can organise pain relief, work certificates and ACC paperwork at your appointment.
Please note that while appointment times are scheduled, visits may take longer if X-rays, cast removal and application or other treatments are required.
A holistic approach to orthopaedic care
Our fracture clinic works closely with local healthcare providers to support your recovery. As well as assessing fractures through our urgent care service, we accept referrals from local GPs and the hospital for follow-up treatment after the initial injury has been managed. If specialist care or surgery is required, we can refer you to Dunedin Public Hospital.
As part of your recovery, we may recommend further support from other healthcare providers, such as physiotherapists or occupational therapists.
We will always provide clear information about your injury, your treatment plan, and steps you can take to support healing and reduce the risk of further injury.
