With the relaxation of Queensland borders on 13 December 2021, AR Plastic Surgery in line with Qld Health and The Wesley Hospital campus has implemented the following changes as part of our Covidsafe Plan in order to protect our team, our patients and the wider community. Please familiarise yourself with the following requirements when attending appointments at AR Plastic Surgery from 13 Dec 2021.
As a precautionary measure, we will reintroduce the mandatory wearing of face masks while in rooms. From Monday 13 December 2021, anyone entering our practice, including patients, staff, carers and doctors will be required to wear a surgical mask.
In order to protect our team and our wider community, it is now a requirement for anyone 16 years and above that, you show your digital vaccination certificate on arrival to our practice. If you do not have a vaccination certificate and have not double been vaccinated against Covid-19, please inform our team as soon as possible. Unvaccinated patients must have a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours prior to attending our office. Unvaccinated patients who qualify for a face to face appointment are to be scheduled at the end of the day and must wear surgical maskson arrival. Alternative options such as telehealth appointments may be offered as an alternative where appropriate.
As each hospital will have individual requirements it is important that you contact the hospital where your procedure will take place in advance of your surgery. Our team can further assist you with this if required.
Effective Wednesday 22nd Dec all elective surgery admissions to The Wesley Hospital will require a negative PCR test prior to admission. It is advised that you contact the Wesley Hospital should you have further questions.
