Surgical Wait List Roundtable Update

Specialists from around Queensland have been meeting since June to identify solutions to elective surgery backlogs in regional and rural areas.

AMA Queensland’s Surgical Wait List Roundtable held its fourth meeting on 23 July to continue working to identify solutions to inequitable elective surgery wait times for regional and rural Queenslanders.

The Roundtable, made up of clinicians from around the state, has been reviewing existing research and models, priority specialties and priority locations.

It is on track to release its Action Plan recommendations ahead of the October state election.
