Medical assessment and treatment for patients with chronic health issues.
A chronic condition is a medical condition that has been (or is likely to be) present for at least 6 months, or is terminal. Your doctor will determine whether an individual patient with a chronic condition would benefit from a structured plan for the management of their condition.
Our Nurses coordinate GPCCMP, and prepare a written plan. They identify treatment and services for the patient and describe the treatments or services, with Allied Health Professionals they will refer them to, and their purpose.
Patients see their GP to finalise the Management Plan, all on the same day.
We offer all immunisations in the National Immunisation Program Schedule, including influenza, pneumococcal, whooping cough and shingles, as well as a full travel vaccine service.
If you are travelling overseas, it is recommended attending the practice to discuss travel destinations and potential health risks. It is ideal to consult with your GP 6 weeks before your departure, as some vaccines require a course of injections. We are a registered Yellow Fever vaccination centre.
The most effective management for skin cancer is early detection and treatment.
We have GPs who have special interest and training in Skin Cancer Medicine, who also utilise dermatoscopes and photography to accurately diagnose skin conditions.
If you have any particular concerns about any spots or moles, please inform your GP.
Several of our GPs perform minor procedures to remove skin lesions. All specimens are sent to our pathology service for diagnosis. Procedures are performed in our treatment rooms with clinical assistance from our Nurses. Please book in for an initial assessment with your GP.
Our Nurses coordinate our health assessment programs for patients aged 45–49 and 75+ years old. We encourage these assessments as part of our commitment to health promotion and illness prevention. Our Nurses complete portions of both health assessments. GPs finalise the assessments and health recommendations are offered.
Patients who are booked in for a 45–49 year old health assessment are encouraged to print and complete the attached forms and bring your appointment please.
We recognise the importance of mental health, and the GPs aim to support their patients in achieving emotional and psychological good health, for their overall well-being. This includes mental health assessments, counselling and completion of Mental Health Care Plans, for psychology services, as required.
