Endocrine Email Advice Service

The Endocrine Email Advice Service assists GPs by providing information about endocrine blood results, problems and management when it is thought a specialist referral isn't  necessary.
 

GCUH now offers an Endocrine email advice service for general enquiries. GCUH aims to provide specialist diabetes and endocrine advice to GPs within one working day. Just send your question with de-identified relevant results to gchendocrineadvice@health.qld.gov.au 

Please Note - Referrals should not be send via this email. Referrals should continue to be sent to GCUH Booking & Referrals via the Electronic Transfer as before.
