Telephone Calls

The doctors will take phone calls relating to you or your family’s health. If seeing patients when you call they may have to call you back. The Practice does not receive emails or SMS’s from patients.

Prescriptions

Our Practice has designated times for patients to present and request a repeat prescription. Patients need to present to their regular GP at the allocated time and a script will be generated. If you are unable to come at the special times allocated for your GP, then a short, appointment with your regular GP can be made. If your GP is not available on the day, you will have to make an appointment with another GP in the Practice.

All scripts require an appointment and phone requests are not permitted. Please phone (07) 5482 5899 prior to coming into the Practice, to make sure your regular GP is available.

The Practice will contact you regarding any abnormal results to book a follow up appointment. Please feel free to contact the Practice regarding any concerns you may have regarding results.
