Outpatient clinics operate two half days a week on a Monday and Friday morning and on alternate Thursday mornings.

Patients who wish to be seen by a specialist must first obtain a referral from their GP or if they have been seen by the Emergency Department one will be provided.

Once a referral is received by the clinic it is assessed (triaged) by the specialists and an appropriate appointment is made (this may take some time depending on the nature of the problem).

You will receive a letter confirming when an appointment has been made for you. Please refer to the Sandringham Outpatient Information sheet for details on what to bring to your appointment.
