Repeat Prescriptions and Referrals

Test results

All tests are reviewed by the referring doctor. However you are advised to come in if you wish to discuss your results. You will be contacted if the doctor requires you to have follow up appointment. Patients should be seen by the doctor who ordered the test to ensure continuity of care.

Telephoning the doctor

A doctor or nurse will be available for telephone calls in emergency situations. For all other requests, including obtaining test results, you will need to make an appointment to see the doctor in a consultation. This is important for improved communication, medico legal reasons and appropriate health care.

Phone calls

Regarding phone calls from patients, If the doctor is unavailable at the time of your call a message will be relayed.
