The haematology service at the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute (MNCCI) has expanded significantly over the past 15 years, providing an important and valuable service to the community. Recruitment for a third haematologist is currently underway, which will further improve service delivery for patients.
While the number of haematologists available at MNCCI has increased, the waiting time for patients to be seen in the clinic has also grown.
In order to improve the waiting times for patients, MNCCI is implementing changes to their service delivery model and referral practices. They are asking for the assistance of general practitioners to ensure appropriate referral to the haematology clinic.
Changes in referral practices for the clinic are outlined here.
If you require clarification of the referral processes at MNCCI, or you have any questions, please contact the haematology service on (02) 6656 5737.
