REVISED NEW PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION AT PAPHOS GENERAL HOSPITAL



Please note details of the revised new procedure at Paphos General Hospital.  Please ignore the previous entry on the blog on the subject.


REGISTRATION AT PAPHOS GENERAL HOSPITAL


There are currently three separate locations for arranging appointments, and for subsequently registering on the day of your appointment to pay the appropriate fee and receive your strip of self-adhesive identification labels.

The serving positions at these locations are each assigned to dealing with specific branches of medicine, and although controlling notices are posted they may not be immediately evident.


The three locations are.

1.    Location 1The original principal reception desk - inside the ground floor main entry by the café.
It has four serving positions to the front and one around the corner to the right.

2.     Location 2The Kiosk in the ground floor reception hall on the right beyond the stamp dispensing desk, where all specialist appointments were previously arranged.
It has two serving positions.

3.     Location 3The newly constructed Kiosk in the ground floor reception hall where the Hospital based General Practitioners are still accommodated
It has four serving positions, three currently being used.



Location 1 - From the left-hand side the five positions deal with-

1.      Thalassemia, Political Asylum, Thalassemia Trait, Gastroenterologists, Psychiatrists, Dermatologist and the Psychologist.
2.      Surgeons and Orthopaedics.
3.      Cardiologists, Haematologists and Oncologists.
4.      Neurologist, Endocrinologist, Ophthalmologists, Anaesthesiologists and the Plastic Surgeon.
5.      Dentists, Dietician, Physiotherapists and Health Certificates.

Location 2 – The Two positions deal with-

1.      Urologists and Special Pathologists.
2.      Paediatricians and the ENT Doctor.

Location 3 – The Three operational positions deal with -

1.      Gynaecologists
2.      Pulmonologists and Nephrologists.
3.      Hospital Based General Practitioners.


Although it is implied that the correct positions must always be used, it is evident that this ruling lapses within all three locations at times of under manning.

Appointments to visit Medical Specialists will only be given when a referral has first been acquired from your assigned “GESY” General Practitioner.
