The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has recently advised that throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, 76% of doctor consultations have continued to be held face to face.
All of our doctors and nurses at FMC are available for face to face consultations and we have appointments available every day.
So please don’t put off your doctor or nurse visit!
Whether it’s for a regular check-up for your INR, blood pressure or blood sugar, a pap smear or keeping your children’s vaccinations up to date, it is important that you keep up with these appointments.
We are continuing to follow all of the current guidelines regarding social distancing, hygiene and infection control.
We have a limited number of chairs available in our waiting areas so please do not bring any additional people with you to your consultation.
If there are no chairs available when you arrive please let our Reception staff know that you will wait outside. Remember to maintain at least 1.5 metres distance from others when outside.
Patients with any respiratory or cold/flu symptoms should advise our Reception staff on the phone before attending their appointment so we can determine the best way to manage your consultation.
Patients who are identified as being at risk of contracting Coronavirus may still book telephone consults if they prefer not to leave home to see their doctor.
Requests for prescriptions will continue to be managed by telephone consults.
Phone us on 6851 1300 to make an appointment.
