For Patients: Before You Arrive

Pre-admission Clinic

The hospital runs a pre-admission clinic for both public and private patients who meet specific medical criteria that warrants pre-operation assessment. This service enables patients to be assessed by nursing, medical and allied health staff prior to their admission. Patients are provided with pre-operation information and tests may be required to be taken during the assessment.
