Orthopaedic outpatients/fracture clinic
Friday September 9, 2016
Q. Have you ever seen ‘SOS’ on a discharge from the orthopaedic outpatient clinic and wondered what it meant?
A. If the patient is having any problems then they can ring the clinic themselves and book an appointment; if it is within a six-week period of the last clinic appointment. But, if it is after the six-week period, they will need to be re-referred.
