We provide assessment and management of paediatric surgical intervention and post-operative review after surgery. This service is offered at Eastern Health Box Hill and Angliss.
Information is available on HealthPathways Melbourne for assistance in managing your patient’s condition. This includes what investigations you need to perform prior to referring to a specialist and what information you need to include in the referral. If you require login access to HealthPathways, contact [email protected].
Patients will be triaged according to their presenting problem and where possible, offered an appointment in a clinic location closest to their home address (subject to appointment availability and waiting times).
Investigations to be sent with the referral:
- Copies of any investigations performed to facilitate triage.
- Imaging films or CDs should be brought to the clinic appointment
For referral information, including how to refer electronically, see Specialist (Outpatients) Clinics.
If your patient’s condition deteriorates, please send an updated referral via HealthLink SmartForms selecting the Referral Continuation “Amended referral/update previously sent referral” with additional clinical information.
Emergency cases should be sent to the Emergency Department.
