UROLOGY, ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY TELE-ADVICE TO CLOSE

Effective Wednesday, January 1, 2025, urology and orthopedic surgery tele-advice will no longer be available via Specialist Link.

System pressures and workforce issues have contributed to the closure of these services. For orthopedic surgery questions, family physicians and nurse practitioners are asked to direct questions to the RAAPID consultation and advice line. Urology non-urgent consults can go through Facilitated Access to Specialized Treatment. Emergent calls can continue to be directed to the urologist on call or the patient can be directed to the Rockyview General Hospital emergency department at the discretion of the provider.

Please refer to the updated orthopedics access pathway and the updated urology access pathway.
