South Burnett residents requiring specialised urology services will now be able to stay closer to home thanks to the expansion of the Specialist Outpatient Department at Kingaroy Hospital.<\/p>\n

Two urologists, Dr Nikhil Sapre and Dr Gary Wang, plus their clinical support staff are now seeing patients at Kingaroy Hospital to provide diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions related to the urinary tract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a growth in the local need for specialised outpatient services,\u201d Kingaroy Hospital Director of Nursing Gaye Binns said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is now an opportunity for those residents to be able to stay closer to home to receive their care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackie Isaacson is the Specialist Outpatient Department clinical nurse.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s been working in the clinic for about four years and has just recently been promoted to clinical nurse.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the clinics here at the hospital removes the need for people to travel outside of the region for their initial or follow-up appointments with their specialists,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTravelling for medical reasons has such an impact on people and not just those requiring care. It\u2019s the patient\u2019s families who are impacted too because they are often needed to drive their loved ones to and from appointments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis service has a huge positive impact on our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Specialist Outpatient Department at Kingaroy Hospital also provides a variety of services to patients including cardiology, gynaecology, obstetrics, surgical and paediatrics, as well as a pacemaker clinic.<\/p>\n

A doctor\u2019s referral for any of these services is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
