Consultation and On-call Service

In life-threatening situations, contact the Registrar or Consultant directly, via the telephone operator. (The Consultant is not always on site in the hospital out of normal working hours.)

Non-urgent consultation requiring inpatient review can be with the acute team of the day as above. The Registrar should be contacted in the first instance. If it is difficult to access the Registrar, contact the on-call Consultant.

Non-urgent consultation for outpatient review can be faxed directly to the outpatient department (fax 85423). It is recommended the case be discussed with the on-call team as well, to facilitate the timing of investigations. There is a more comprehensive set of pathways on the HealthPathways website before considering referral to the Gynaecology department.
