Urgent Appointments

Every morning, there is one clinic for urgent problems. These appointments should be used for problems that are urgent or cannot wait for a routine appointment and are best booked by telephone between 8:30-9:00am as these clinics fill up very quickly. During these clinics, the doctor will deal with the urgent problem but may ask you to make another appointment for non-urgent, longstanding or on-going problems. If you feel you need to see a doctor urgently, please discuss it with the receptionist or nurse.

In an emergency you can also attend the Accident and Emergency Department of either:

  • John Hunter Hospital (Lookout Road, New Lambton)
  • Newcastle Mater Hospital (Edith Road, Waratah)
  • Belmont Hospital (Croudace Bay Road, Belmont)
  • Maitland Hospital (Metford Rd, Metford)

If you need an ambulance please call Triple Zero (000).

Communicating with Doctors

If you telephone to speak to a doctor and they are unavailable or with a patient, a nurse may be able to help you. You may, however, leave a message and the doctor will call you back as soon as possible. As most doctors work part time they do not regularly access their University email so patients are advised not to email doctors.
