Services During COVID-19 Crisis
During the COVID-19 pandemic, orthopaedic services in Warrnambool have been greatly reduced.
We have continued to provide an emergency service for treatment of fractures and other bone and joint injuries, as well urgent elective cases throughout the shutdowns. Mr Sutherland has been closely involved in managing the surgical implications of the pandemic both locally and at State level
Things are now returning towards close to normal activity, and we thank you for your patience as we pick up the pace of work. Many patients have been waiting a long term for operations, and we will consider their time waited and severity of symptoms as we look to increase activity.
We will undertake screening of all incoming patients, for surgery or for clinics; we ask all who are ill or who have been in contact with possible COVID cases to stay away from the hospital and Rooms. If you have a respiratory illness, you should contact your GP or the Respiratory Clinic at South West Healthcare (or your local Respiratory Clinic).
We review our processes frequently, particularly in light of the developing situation in Melbourne.
Please support your local public and private medical services; your local specialists are committed to the region, committed to you.
