Medication

If you have been instructed to cease any of your medication prior to surgery, please review the information given to you by your case manager, pharmacist or medical team.

If you need to speak to a staff member outside of regular business hours please call the RBWH switchboard (07) 3646 8111. It is much preferred that you let us know before your surgery date, so we have as much time as possible to organise another patient for surgery. If for any reason your surgery does need to be cancelled due to not being surgically fit, we will work to rebook your surgery when you are healthy enough to attend.
