Please come into Westmead Fertility Centre when we reopen on 2 January if you are day 2 or 3 of your period. Make sure you have all the medications you will require before the holiday season begins and bring them with you on this day.
McBeaths Pharmacy located in Westmead Hospital will be open over the holiday period, except for 25, 26, 30 December, and 1 January 2019. Other local pharmacies can assist you with your medication requirements if you provide sufficient time for your medication to be ordered in.
We have very limited availability for frozen treatment cycles over the holiday period, and we encourage you to log onto the Patient Portal on the first or second day of your period and we will contact you for a discussion within 4 days of receiving your request. Please make sure you fill out all the required information to ensure we can assess your individual situation appropriately.
During the closure, our clinic will be undergoing some minor refurbishments to freshen up for 2019. The staff and Fertility Specialists of Westmead Fertility Centre wish everyone the very best for the festive season and we look forward to welcoming you to our clinic in the New Year.
