Appointments

This practice offers a flexible appointment system in order to accommodate patients who need a longer consultation, those requiring urgent, medical care and those requiring external visits. The system is design to allow sufficient time for Doctors to do house calls and take and return calls.

The time allowed for each consultation is 15 or 20 minutes depending on the Doctor.

Longer consultations are available on request and are necessary for the following:

Complex medical problems, PAP smears, Medicals, Diabetes and Asthma checks, Results, Multiple problems, new patients with complex history, counselling, Workers Compensation, and Procedures.

To ensure that appointments are available for urgent problems some appointments may not be booked until the actual day.

Appointments for dressings, ECG’s, Spirometry, Diabetes etc are to be booked with the Practice Nurse with the reason for the appointment written in the notes. All patients are to be booked with the appropriate Doctor as well.

In the case of an emergency arising during consultation hours the practice policy is to fit the patient in as soon as possible after liaising with doctors.

Waiting Times

We endeavour to run on time but this is a busy General Medical Practice and we can not always predict what problem may come through the door. Your patience if this should happen will be greatly appreciated.
