Welcome to the Emergency Care Co-ordination Team (NZ) website

ECCT's have been set up to manage and coordinate the Acute Management System for New Zealand.

The role of the ECCT is defined in the ECCT Service specifications.

Five regional ECCT clinical networks meet regularly to ensure the best possible outcome for people who need to access emergency services.

The aim of the Acute Management system is to ensure;

   ''that you receive the RIGHT Care at the RIGHT Time in the RIGHT Place and from the RIGHT Person'

The aim of the ECCT is to facilitate an integrated and effective regional emergency care system by using appropriate information and available regional resources to identify problems and seek to implement solutions in conjunction with DHB's, MoH, ACC and other organisations.

What to do in an emergency

If you, or your family, need emergency health treatment as a result of injury, illness, or obstetric emergencies;

RING 111 and ask for Ambulance service.

For minor injuries, illness or obstetric care ring or visit your local GP, PHO, Medical centre or midwife who will refer you if necessary to the appropriate service that you require.
