Gold Coast Health’s new outpatient service commenced in February 2024. The service is staffed by a broad multidisciplinary team including allied health, nursing and medical consultants. Patients attend an initial education session which is then followed up with a call from a Nurse Specialist. Appointments are then scheduled with a gynaecologist or other Interdisciplinary team members as appropriate.

As a holistic service it is an expectation that all patients will attend the education/information session prior to all other appointments. Your support to advise patients of this is greatly appreciated. Feedback from patients who have been seen in this model has been extremely positive.

Patients who are currently on a waiting list who would be suitable for this program will be invited into this program and a new referral is not necessary.

If you have new patients who may benefit from this service please refer to Gold Coast Health Gynaecology in the usual way.

The Gold Coast HealthPathways for Endometriosis and Persistent Pelvic Pain have both recently been updated by consultants from this clinic. It is recommended that GPs review these pathways and optimise management in primary care otherwise your referral may be declined.
