Outpatient appointments, referrals, waiting list and booking changes
John Hunter Hospital outpatient clinics are for specialist healthcare when a patient needs treatment, examination or review but does not need to stay overnight. The appointment process is referral-based and clinically triaged.
Micro guide: how to get an outpatient appointment
| Step | What happens | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Referral is created | A GP, specialist, health professional, hospital discharge team or Emergency pathway may refer you. | Ask your referrer which clinic you are being referred to and whether the referral includes the necessary reports. |
| 2. Referral enters the system | The outpatient team processes the referral. The official page asks patients to allow up to 2 weeks before contacting them about processing. | Wait up to 2 weeks unless your condition changes or your referrer says it is urgent. |
| 3. Clinical triage | A specialist clinician decides how urgent the issue is and the timeframe in which you should be seen. | If symptoms worsen, contact your referring GP/health practitioner. If urgent or life-threatening, call 000 or go to Emergency. |
| 4. Appointment or waiting list | You may receive an appointment straight away or be placed on a waiting list. | Keep phone, email and postal address up to date by calling (02) 4922 3912 if details change. |
| 5. Appointment notice | Staff may contact you by phone, email, SMS or letter. A text reminder is sent the day before where mobile details are available. | Check whether your clinic is in North block or South block and whether you need imaging/pathology first. |
Change or cancel an outpatient appointment
| Situation | Action | Important warning |
|---|---|---|
| You cannot attend | Call the Outpatient Service Contact Centre on (02) 4922 3912 as soon as possible. | Because of long wait times, the hospital may not be able to reschedule quickly. |
| You no longer need the appointment | You or your GP should contact Outpatients so the appointment can be released. | This helps another patient receive care sooner. |
| You miss the appointment | Contact the clinic immediately. | If you do not attend and the hospital does not hear from you, you may be discharged from the clinic. |
| Your condition changes while waiting | Advise your GP or referring health practitioner immediately. | Your GP can update the clinic if your clinical priority may need review. |
| Your contact details change | Call (02) 4922 3912. | Most notifications are mailed, emailed, called or sent by SMS. Old contact details can make you miss your appointment. |
