Pit Stop Appointments

We have introduced Pit Stop appointments to cater for those patients whose script has run out prior to getting an appointment with their doctor. As doctors will no longer write out a script without seeing a patient this type of appointment allows for a script to be obtained. The consultation is for a script only, any other problems must be dealt with during a normal consultation. The script will not be issued with repeats and the patient should arrange a follow up appointment at that time.
This service will be bulk billed.

Diabetic Education

Patients are advised when seeing our diabetic educator that they are required to undergo a measurement of ankle Brachial Indices with a Dopler. This will be carried out before the appointment and reception will advise on this.

INR Clinics

Those patients on Warfarin are able to book in to an INR clinic and receive the result of the test immediately. Patients are asked to contact reception to enquire when these clinics are held, usually two to three times per week.

Skin Cancer Clinics

These are held on Monday and Thursday nights. The appointments are for 10 minutes only, and are for skin checks only. The consultation will be bulk billed and any excisions will be performed at a later date. We would ask patients attending these skin clinics to wear loose clothing that is easy to remove. For an appointment please phone reception between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 11.30am Saturday.
