Via your gp: Most of the specialists if they have virtual appointments on smarthealth are usually done via the GP referral. So may unless you have a key worker to contact need to go through them. Otherwise can do a virtual consult with an after hours dr but we’re not specialist psychiatrists. Do have some mental health training and if we’re concerned would refer you on to the crisis or liaison service,

Unfortunately no: There are only a limited number of NZ doctors available on this app. You could talk to your GP for a referral or call your specialist's secretary. If you are feeling really bad, please consider calling the Depression Helpline – 0800 111 757 or free text 4202 (to talk to a trained counsellor about how you are feeling or to ask any questions)
