About our service
The Infectious Diseases and Microbiology service is part of the broader Department of Immunology (including allergy and rheumatology).
We provide a clinical infectious disease consultation service, including:
- immunisation advice and support
- advice to medical colleagues on management of severe or difficult to diagnose infections
- infection prevention and control and how antibiotics are used in the hospital.
We provide a statewide role in the management of paediatric HIV.
Laboratory microbiology, virology, serology and molecular services are provided by the NSW Health Pathology based on the Prince of Wales (POW) campus.
Tuberculosis services are provided by the POW Adult Chest Clinic.
Referral process for clinicians
Our department is using Consultmed to manage referrals. The Consultmed platform allows health professionals to send e-referrals to us securely.
Consultmed questions and technical support: helpdesk@consultmed.co
Referral and appointment process for parents and carers
Request a referral
To make an appointment at our clinic, you will need a referral from your GP, paediatrician or specialist.
They will assess your child, discuss your concerns, and make a referral to the appropriate service.
Track your referral
Our department uses Consultmed to manage referrals. Your referring clinician sends the e-referral to us using the secure Consultmed platform.
Once we receive the referral, we will send you an email with your tracking information. We will update you as we process the referral and book your appointment.
To receive these updates, please ask your referring clinician to include your email on the referral.
If your clinician has questions about Consultmed or require technical support, they can contact helpdesk@consultmed.co.
