 When to visit us

Your GP or non-GP specialist is always your first step in seeking treatment for any condition. You will be referred to our service if your treating doctor feels that your treatment requires the input of our clinic. Once we receive the referral it will be reviewed by a doctor and you will be notified of the outcome and next steps. Please allow at least 4 weeks for this process to be undertaken. We see patients either face to face or via telehealth - your specialist will let you know what the best option is for you.   

 

Please note that phone calls from the hospital will appear as a blocked number.   

 

If you have a scheduled appointment you will receive a reminder text message.   

 

Please allow a full morning or afternoon for your appointment. Some patients require a longer review and delays can occur.

 Referral information

A referral is required to access our services. Please submit referrals using the eReferral system through HealthLink, which can be accessed through most clinical software systems.

 

Alternatively, please address a referral letter to Dr Suran Fernando and Associates, and send via:

Fax: (02) 9463-1058

Email: [email protected] (Drug Allergy) or [email protected] (Anaesthetic Allergy) 

 

Attach results of any investigations to the referral and ensure the patient brings hard copies to their appointment. This will help avoid unnecessary duplication of tests, additional appointments and delay.

Providing more information will aid the triage process and make it more likely that your patient will be seen in the most timely manner possible.

  • Reason must be stated explicitly  
  • Resident of other LHD that does not provide the clinical service 
  • Continuing care of existing condition already managed by NSLHD 
  • Demonstrated complexity requiring services of NSLHD 
  • Compassionate circumstances, e.g. family, proximity, staff

 

Referrals will be triaged and your patient will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible. This process may take between 1-4 weeks. You will be contacted if more information is needed.  

 

Telehealth services are available, please indicate on the referral if you feel this would be suitable for your patient’s appointment.
