COVID -19 Procedures
During a pre admission phonecall we will ask if you are well. Please do not attend your appointment if you are unwell.
Call to inform our staff prior to attending if you are unsure.
For patients who have recently had Covid an individual assessment can be made by your Surgeon/Anaesthetist to determine your suitability for surgery
Current NSW Health guidelines for having an anaesthetic post covid infection are as follows:
4 weeks for asymptomatic
6 weeks for symptomatic without hospitalisation
8 to 10 weeks symptomatic who is diabetic, immunocompromised or hospitalised
12 weeks for those admitted to ICU due to COVID
