Making an appointment at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is an easy and straight forward process.
When and Where to Visit
If you have been referred to one of our Out-Patient Clinics, to make a new appointment or a follow-up appointment, visit the Admissions Section of the Medical Records Department between 8.00 AM and 4.30 PM on weekdays, or, through the Accident and Emergency Department at all other times, including holidays and the weekends. Patients are asked to provide supporting documentation when making an appointment.
On arriving, please pull a number and take a seat in the waiting area.

This will include obtaining your demographic information such as your full name, date of birth (DOB), age, home address and contact information; the name of your private physician; and the name, relationship status and contact information of your next of kin.
