Your outpatient appointment is a day appointment to see a specialist or health practitioner about your condition without being admitted into hospital. You may have an outpatient appointment before and\/or after your admission to hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>
We send SMS text messages to offer appointments and keep you updated.
Sometimes, your phone may block these messages by mistake.<\/p>\n
Find out how to get appointment messages<\/a><\/p>\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>.\u00a0Your letter will advise you on the clinic you are required to attend and how to prepare for your appointment.<\/p>\n If\u00a0your condition changes or you are concerned about your health before the date of your appointment, please contact your doctor. If required, they are able to send an updated referral.<\/p>\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>\n When you arrive, scan your letter at the kiosk and proceed to the nominated waiting room; or if required, register your attendance at the reception desk with your appointment letter. Please allow up to 2 hours for your appointment and ensure you leave enough time for parking. It may be easier for your carer to drop you off at the front of the hospital prior to parking. Orthopaedics\/fracture clinic appointments can take more time, due to complex treatments.<\/p>\n Waiting times are different for each clinic. While we always try to ensure that clinics run on time, due to unavoidable delays, for example emergency surgery, there may be a long wait to see a specialist or health practitioner.<\/p>\n Allied Health and nursing clinics run closely to the appointment times, so please be considerate of other patients and be on time.<\/p>\n At your first appointment your doctor or health professional will discuss your concerns, and healthcare plan. You may require an examination or further tests.<\/p>\n Your doctor or health professional will advise you if you require further appointments. When you are discharged from our service, your GP will review information regarding your ongoing management plan.<\/p>\n On your first appointment, you will be asked if you would like to be seen as a private or public patient<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div> Telehealth is a video call that is a safe and easy way of delivering healthcare.<\/p>\n This service may be accessed from your home using your computer, tablet, or smart phone. A Telehealth appointment may also be possible from your local public hospital, GP Clinic, or another healthcare service.<\/p>\n Talk about Telehealth options with your health professional.<\/p>\n Find out more about how Telehealth appointments work<\/a> and how to test if Telehealth works on your device<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div> The hospital pharmacy is located on the ground floor of the Main Building and a private pharmacy is located on the ground floor of the Moreton Bay Integrated Care Centre (MBICC) Building. You are welcome to use your own community pharmacy to fill prescriptions, however, we recommend having it checked by the hospital pharmacy as some medications may not be on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme<\/a> and you may have to pay extra for these.<\/p>\n<\/div> Please call the corresponding clinic number to:<\/p>\n Redcliffe Hospital<\/strong> Specialist Outpatient Department<\/strong> Paediatric Outpatient Department<\/strong> Oncology Outpatient Department<\/strong> Antenatal Outpatient Department<\/strong> Therapies (Physio\/OT\/Podiatry) Outpatient Department<\/strong>Requesting an appointment<\/h2>\n
