COVID-19

September 2020 Update: The road to “Normal” was outlined by the Victorian Premier, Dan Andrews, on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately no information is available with respect to the resumption of more inclusive elective surgery lists. Watch this space! As soon as we know, it will be posted here and on our MIGYNAE facebook page.

Migynae practitioners are fortunate to hold a number of theatre lists across a number of sites so is well placed to carry out the backlog of demand.

As all our dedicated doctors work across the Public and Private sector, their risks of coming in contact with the virus is high. This multiple site access does increase the potential for asymptomatic transmission for our doctors so hence our policy to reduce prolonged face to face contact with our patients during the consultation process. This is achieved through modified appointment types, utilizing the telephone, zoom and short physical contact times. All patients with scheduled appointments at the rooms during stage 4, will be required to telephone on arrival. No one is to enter the clinic until instructed to do so.

Our staff are working in separate teams to avoid cross contamination and to ensure the practice can still provide care should any member of the team test positive. We are proud of our ability to continue practicing our high level of care while displaying outstanding adaptation to the changed circumstances.  Thanks also goes to our lovely patients, who trusted us and tolerated the extraordinary changes to our normal operating systems.
