ABOUT US
Preventive Health Care
Many people are understandably proud of being able to claim that they 'never go to the doctor'. In some ways this is good news because it means they have no illness needing medical attention. But it might mean that they are missing out on some important preventive health checks, which can keep them healthy.
Please remember to inform your doctor of any allergies to medication, any chronic conditions as well as all current medication being taken; any previous operations and family history.
These checks include:
Pap Smear and Breast Examination (for women)
Vaccination Status (for example, we need a tetanus vaccination every 10 years)
These checks don't need to be done very often, but they can be very important in preventing problems, or detecting them in the early stages.
Remember:
You don't have to be ill to see the doctor once in a while
Doctors like seeing their healthy patients as well as their sick ones
We are especially interested in promoting good health and preventing illness.
SERVICES
Medical Certificates
To provide a certificate a doctor must see the patient for the condition listed on the certificate. It is illegal to back date medical certificates.
Recall System
This surgery offers a recall system for Pap Smears and Immunizations. You will be offered the choice of being enrolled on the pap smear register at the time of your consultation. The register keeps a record of all vaccinations given, and will generate a reminder notice for us when vaccinations are overdue. We will then contact you.
Repeat Prescriptions
Most prescriptions provide sufficient medication to last until your condition needs to be reviewed by your doctor. With very few exceptions, prescriptions are not routinely written without consultation to determine the appropriate medications at the time.
