Allied Health
Allied Health refers to a group of qualified health professionals other than doctors and nurses who work directly with clients and closely with other health specialists.
The Waikato DHB employs a large number of dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers and therapy assistants located throughout the Waikato DHB region.
Although they work within a range of health service teams in hospital and community settings, they report professionally to a manager and professional leader within the Older Persons, Rehabilitation and Allied Health directorate of Waikato District Health Board.
