Services During COVID-19 Crisis
During the COVID-19 crisis, orthopaedic services in Warrnambool will be greatly reduced. All elective surgery, including joint replacement surgery, has been postponed both at South West Healthcare and at St John of God Hospital. Services will continue to run for emergencies, including fractures, dislocations and infections, as well as care of tumours/cancers.
We will continue to take referrals from GPs, and consultations will be provided by phone or video. This will allow appropriate advice to be given, to help to offset the inevitable increase in waiting time for surgery, and also to prioritise those that need urgent treatment.
