Before arrival
The coordinator helps align appointments, admission instructions, travel timing, accessible accommodation, ground transport, interpreter requirements, authorised family communication, and a practical emergency plan.
Each accepted patient is assigned a primary bilingual coordinator and a backup. The team supports practical continuity while the hospital leads all medical care.
New symptoms and medication questions are passed promptly to the hospital clinical team. Apparent emergencies are directed to local emergency services and the treating hospital.
The coordinator helps align appointments, admission instructions, travel timing, accessible accommodation, ground transport, interpreter requirements, authorised family communication, and a practical emergency plan.
Support can cover registration, qualified interpretation arrangements, daily practical check-ins, invoices, receipts, documents, and escalation to the responsible hospital contact.
Coordinators do not diagnose, triage, interpret results independently, recommend treatment, alter medicines, provide unlicensed nursing, assess fitness to fly, or promise emergency admission.
The coordinator tracks the bilingual discharge packet, medication and appointment information, travel arrangements, secure handover, and confirmation that a receiving clinician has the necessary records.
