Policies and Appointments

Policy

Obstetric Patients boked at John Flynn Hospital.

Weekend and holiday cover is shared with two other specialist obstetricians, Dr Chris Margin and Dr Siri Dutt. During the week we deliver our own patients out of hours, and one weekend in three we are each on call.

Obstetric Patients booked at Tweed Heads District Hospital.

Public patients are admitted under the \" Consultant of the Day\" and are normally cared for by the full time hospital registrars or career medical officers or the hospital midwives. There is always a Consultant on duty who will be called in if necessary.

Waiting Lists.

Our aim is to operate on patients as soon as possible. At the John Flynn Hospital the patient can usually pick their operating time within a week or two. At the Tweed Heads Disrtict Hospital, the NSW Health Department budgetary restrictions have limited operating time for some years and waiting times are a disgrace (up to two years).
