Sometimes, your phone may block these messages by mistake.<\/p>\r\n Find out how to get appointment messages<\/a><\/p>\r\n To get an outpatient appointment, your doctor needs to send a referral to the hospital.\u00a0The hospital will send you a letter either offering an appointment or advising that your name has been placed on a wait list<\/a>. Your letter will advise you on the clinic you are required to attend and how to prepare for your appointment. If your condition changes or you are concerned about your health before the date of your appointment, please contact your doctor.<\/p>\r\n If you have been placed on a hospital wait list, you may receive an SMS asking you to complete an online form to confirm whether you still need your appointment. The message will come from \u2018QLD Health\u2019 and the form is provided through our trusted digital partner Personify Care<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n When you arrive, register your attendance at the reception desk with your appointment letter. While we always try to ensure that clinics run on time, due to unavoidable delays there may be a 1-2 hour wait to see a specialist. At your first appointment your doctor or health professional will discuss your concerns, and healthcare plan. You may require an examination or further tests. Your doctor or health professional will advise you if you require further appointments.<\/p>\r\n On your first appointment, you will be asked if you would like to be seen as a public or private patient<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n[\/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=\"\" column_min_width=\"\" column_spacing=\"\" rule_style=\"default\" rule_size=\"\" rule_color=\"\" content_alignment_medium=\"\" content_alignment_small=\"\" content_alignment=\"\" hide_on_mobile=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\" sticky_display=\"normal,sticky\" class=\"\" id=\"\" font_size=\"\" fusion_font_family_text_font=\"\" fusion_font_variant_text_font=\"\" line_height=\"\" letter_spacing=\"\" text_color=\"\" animation_type=\"\" animation_direction=\"left\" animation_speed=\"0.3\" animation_offset=\"\"]\r\n Telehealth is a video call that is a safe and easy way of delivering healthcare.<\/p>\r\n This service may be accessed from your home using your computer, tablet, or smart phone.
