The nurse will call you about your results if the doctor has requested a follow-up appointment. The nurse will let you know if this is a non-urgent appointment or whether the results need to be followed up in the next day or so. This may mean that you need a script, another investigation, or a referral. All urgent results are acted upon immediately.

Our staff are aware of the specific needs of people with disabilities (such as deafness or visual impairment) and will support the most appropriate method of communication in these instances.

If you phone to speak to the doctor about any aspect of your clinical care and the matter is urgent, our reception staff will ask you a few questions to triage urgent clinical issues. The receptionist may request that you go to the emergency department now, may put you on hold to speak to the doctor or nurse now, may fit you in for an appointment urgently or may take a message for the doctor with your name and contact number to return your call. Urgent messages will be returned from your doctor by the end of the day.
