Website
The BOPDHB website - www.bopdhb.govt.nz - is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about
the BOPDHB. The site features: information on health advice; visiting the hospital including videos of
where to go and how to find parking; the latest news and events in health; information for residents on
how to contact their local health provider, whether it’s a GP practice or specialist care. The site has a
feature where friends and family can send a message to a patient in hospital - the modern equivalent of
sending a telegram. The site is accessible from a desktop computer, a tablet or iPad, or a mobile phone,
and has a tailored look for each channel.
