The out-patient clinics of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) will be closed, and the Pharmacy Medication Delivery Service suspended on Monday, April 12.
“This interim closure does not include patients scheduled for dialysis treatments at the hospital’s Artificial Kidney Unit,” a statement from the QEH said today.
“As most out-patient visits are routine follow-ups, patients affected by the unexpected closure of the Out-Patient Clinics will be contacted by a member of their medical team to discuss their ongoing care. Affected out-patients will also be contacted by the Medical Records Department and provided with rescheduled appointment dates and times.
