"Gynaecology waitlist"

About: Rockingham General Hospital

(as the patient),

In August 2024 I was referred to Rockingham hospital for a prolapsed uterus and bladder. I am on the preliminary waitlist, I haven't had an actual appointment or assessment.  Early this year I had a call offering me physiotherapy,  I assume instead of surgery and was told they could give me a pessary, a plastic device you need to wear permanently  for 23 hours a day.

Fortunately my condition is manageable for now without that kind of intervention, surgery is the most effective treatment. 

I live in Mandurah but was referred to Rockingham because Peel Health Campus doesn't provide gynaecological services. 

I feel the waitlist needs to include people waiting for initial consultation, not just those who have made it onto the surgery list.

Dear stardust65

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your referral experience at Rockingham General Hospital.

We are sincerely sorry that your experience at Rockingham General Hospital did not reflect the high-quality care we strive to deliver.

We have two waitlists, one for outpatients, and one for Surgery managed by different areas.

To enable me to investigate further I would encourage you to make contact with the consumer liaison office directly on 9599 4323 or emailing RGH.feedback@health.wa.gov.au and provide specific details about which waitlist you are referring to which will allow us to investigate your specific concerns. Once again, I am very sorry for the distress this may have caused you.

Kind regards,

Asheila Narang
