Referral Notes
•
•
•
•
SBAR minimum data required for all referrals (including parents name)
Medicare Card and expiry date (please ensure your card is not expired)
Detailed referral including recent pathology and radiology results
School reports and other relevant developmental reports should be
included for behavioural/learning problems
Shared ongoing management
Physicians at our clinics will request copies of pathology tests to be sent by the QHPS laboratory directly to the
patient’s GP.
Please ensure the name of the private laboratory used for any test is included in the referral request. Copies of
tests done through private laboratories should be copied specifically to the physician accepting the patient. It
proves exceptionally difficult for us to locate in a timely fashion, tests just copied to “Cairns Hospital”.
You should receive a letter about your patient within 7-10 days after your patient’s clinic visit.
