Description:

QUFW is Queensland’s Leading Obstetric andGynaecological Ultrasound Service Experience Counts. QUFW is an Obstetric and Gynaecological Ultrasound service provided by Women’s Health Specialists. Our consultants are fully qualified Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. They are passionate about providing an ultrasound centre of excellence for women and have decades of experience in these areas.We differ from other ultrasound practices in that our Obstetricians and Gynaecologists are subspecialised in pregnancy and gynaecological ultrasound. They have undergone extensive training in Australia and internationally to be the leaders in their fields. They understand normal pregnancy and gynaecology and the problems that can occur. This means that if a problem was to be identified during a routine scan, they are able to explain its significance to you and plan out further investigations and management as appropriate in consultation with your referring doctor.QUFW sonographers are highly trained in obstetrics and gynaecology ultrasound. Our practice only utilises the latest 3D/4D ultrasound equipment.We also provide invasive diagnostic procedures such as Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS).We have extensive experience in counselling and the management of abnormal fetal ultrasound findings.We are happy to discuss any of these services. Please contact our office for further information. Dear Patients and Referrers,Firstly, we hope that you are keeping well. Physical and mental health is important to maintain during this current health crisis.QUFW has been monitoring closely various health and medical imaging governing bodies and their published COVID-19 guidelines. All the current recommendations are aimed to decrease the spread of the virus.WHAT HAVE WE DONESocial distancing – All our sites’ reception areas have been rearranged to separate patients for 1.5 metre social distancing.Support Person – Only ONE support person allowed in with the patient during the scan. No children allowed.Hand hygiene promotion – We have hand sanitisers for patient usage at the front desks and in the ultrasound rooms. All sonographers and doctors, wash their hands with soap and/or use sanitisers, before and after each scan.Disinfection – The office including the front reception areas are disinfected on a frequent basis throughout the day. The EFTPOS machine, the ultrasound machines plus probes and other medical equipment are disinfected in between patients.At risk screening questions – We are asking screening questions to identify at risk patients prior to their appointment. If you are self-isolating or have possible risk factors, we will rebook you. Our own staff are also subject to these questions and stay at home if in doubt.OUR NEXT STEPSThe most important and hardest rule to implement in obstetric gynaecology ultrasound is social distancing. Our highly trained sonographers and doctors must be in physical contact for us to do our job. However, it is imperative that we become more stringent for safety. These include:Reduction of scanning and consult times.More telehealth consultations. Verbal consent for Medicare required.Allowance of Facetime during the scan of the screen only but no video recording without staff consent.Medical staff will be wearing masks and gloves. It is currently optional for reception. Please do not be alarmed as it makes it harder to see our usually smiling faces. It is purely a safety measure for you and QUFW staff.As we transition to this next stage, please be patient with us. These changes are necessary in conjunction with the other changes we are all having to make elsewhere to ensure both patient and staff are protected.Take care and keep safe.Read COVID-19 update #1 Released March 20, 2020.
