Covid-19 Update March 22 2020

I thought it would be helpful to explain the current approach to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The current QLD Health policy is for all covid-19 patients to be admitted to public hospitals. There will be NO covid-19 patients admitted to the private hospitals. The aim is to keep the private hospitals as “clean” hospitals, and allow elective surgery to continue. However, my intermediate lists in the public hospital are likely to be cancelled in the next few weeks.

Therefore, the aim of the practice will be to continue to operate regularly in private hospitals.

Please continue to practice good personal hygiene and social distancing. The practice is being regularly cleaned and disinfected. If you wish to have a telecast appointment rather than come into the practice, we are happy to facilitate this.

Please remember if you are feeling unwell, DO NOT ATTEND for your appointment.
