Referral information
The Sunshine Coast service is accepting colonoscopy referrals. Contact the Colonoscopy Brisbane team for secure referral instructions. Referrals are reviewed before suitability for a procedure or a booking can be confirmed.
Requesting Sunshine Coast Day Surgery
Name Sunshine Coast Day Surgery as the requested hospital when contacting the practice or sending a referral. A clinician will assess whether the requested care is appropriate.
Information to accompany a referral
- The clinical indication and relevant history.
- Current medicines, significant comorbidities and allergies.
- Relevant recent results and previous endoscopy reports, when available.
- Details needed to clarify clinical urgency and contact the referring clinician.
The practice may ask for more information when reviewing the referral.
Referrals and hospital admission
Send clinical documents using the secure referral instructions provided by the practice. The hospital admission form does not replace a clinical referral.
Reports and follow-up
Include the referring clinician’s current contact details. Check how the practice will send procedure reports, pathology results and follow-up recommendations, and who will follow up outstanding results.
Urgent care
Use the appropriate urgent assessment or emergency service when required. Routine referral and enquiry forms cannot provide emergency care.
Contact the Colonoscopy Brisbane team before sending a referral. This site cannot receive patient details or clinical documents. A general enquiry does not confirm referral acceptance or a procedure date.
