How do I get an appointment at an Outpatient Specialist Clinic?
Patients are referred to outpatient specialist clinics by general practitioners (GPs) or other specialist doctors. Sometimes patients are referred for follow-up after being treated in the emergency department or the hospital.
Once we have received your referral, the Outpatient clinic staff will prioritise your appointment based on the information the referring doctor has provided about your condition. You might receive an appointment date straight away or be placed on a waiting list to receive an appointment at a later date. Outpatients will contact you and your doctor with information about the outcome of your referral.
