Using GP Smart Referrals technology allows referrals to be expedited and even enables acute referrals such as fractures to be sent almost instantly to fracture clinics. Referrals sent by fax or Medical Objects/HealthLink cannot be automatically prioritised on receipt at Metro South Health. If you cannot use GP Smart Referrals, please still indicate urgency on all category one referrals. More information about GP Smart Referrals is available here: Smart Referrals | Metro South Health.
If you have sent an urgent referral that you are concerned about and would like to discuss further, please contact the GPLO Program on 1300 364 155 (option 2) Mon-Fri 8am-4pm or email GPLO_PROGRAMS2@health.qld.gov.au. If you would like support with using GP Smart Referrals, the MSH GPLO Team can assist.
