about Selina Sutherland Hospital
Selina Sutherland Hospital in Masterton, established 1995, is the only private Surgical Hospital in the Wairarapa. We are the first point of referral for ACC related orthopaedic injuries, providing accessible and equitable elective surgery and consultations. Redeveloped and refurbished, a bright, modern facility - this hospital offers a choice for people to have specialist assessment, day surgery and operations and procedures that require a longer stay without travelling out of the region.
Our patients are the focus of our efforts. We believe that being close to family and support takes much of the worry out of surgery. Pre-assessment, follow-up and discharge planning can be arranged at one facility with your specialists and nursing team involved appropriately.
Being a low risk elective surgical hospital it is important that patients referred are fully 'worked up' and fit for surgery, that is x-rays performed, BMI less than 45, bloods and and general health communicated, smokefree or working towards it, any underlying infections or dental problems communicated to the orthopaedic team. This all saves time and reduces last minute cancellations of surgery.
The hospital is managed by a Board of Directors. Local surgeons and anaesthetists as well as a range of visiting specialists will care for you at Selina. Our consulting rooms and procedure rooms are conveniently located onsite, allowing for streamlined, efficient care by your health care professionals.
Selina Sutherland is co-located on the Wairarapa Hospital grounds and this alliance ensures convenient and timely access to x-ray, laboratory and other support services.
Selina Sutherland enjoys a privileged position in that we use the operating theatres in the DHB, equipped to provide high quality care, with easy access to all the DHB resources and expertise should the need arise. Having your treatment here really is the best of both worlds.
