Patient Health and History Update Form
The GP Clinic has commenced a project to review and update all our patient health and history information. The aim is to ensure that all patient records are complete which then assists the GP with your consultation.
When you next visit the Clinic you will be asked to complete this form which should only take a few minutes. Please arrive a few minutes prior to your appointment time so that you can complete the form.
All patient information will be treated as confidential.
How long should you book your appointment for?
Most appointments with your GP only require 15 minutes. If you have multiple issues or you think they are complex and will require extensive discussion, please let our receptionist know that you would like a long appointment. This will ensure you have the time needed with your GP and will assist us in managing the GPs time and patient flow.
Appointments with the Nurse
On arrival at the clinic do not go directly to see the Nurse (to what was known as Outpatients), please make yourself known to our receptionist. Appointments are required for all non-urgent visits to the Nurse. In most cases you will also need an appointment with the GP. This includes ear syringing, blood pressure readings and immunisations.
All emergencies will be reviewed by a Nurse prior to being seen by a GP.
Please notify us as soon as you can if you are unable to make your appointment time. This allows us to offer the time to another patient. A quick phone call if you are running late also allows for better management of our patient times.
