Convicted surgeon Jayant Patel will be moved to a new Brisbane jail on Monday.
The surgeon was sentenced last week to seven years' jail for the manslaughter of three patients and causing grievous bodily harm to a fourth.
Since his conviction, he's been held at the Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre, at Wacol in Brisbane's southwest.

Assessment due
He'll be moved on Monday to the nearby Brisbane Correctional Centre, a Corrective Services spokesman said.
He said Patel, 60, would then undergo an assessment to determine which jail will be his permanent home.
Patel will be eligible for parole in three and a half years for his crimes, which relate to his time as director of surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital between 2003 and 2005.
