24.01.2022 Your Padstow Doctors Plus is STILL OPEN! However, due to the risk of Coronavirus, we are taking all the necessary steps to protect YOU during your visit here! This includes phone consultations for eligible patients, and screening all patients for recent travel or contact with Coronavirus before they enter the waiting room.... We are also screening everyone for contagious cold or flu-like symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, cough, fevers, rash etc.). Any patient with such symptoms will be isolated away from the waiting room in one of our 2 isolation rooms to keep everyone else safe. We apologise for having to ask the above screening questions, however this is the only way to guarantee a safe environment in our practice. If you would like any further information, please phone us on 90116709.

17.01.2022 "Just a cold"? "Just a sore throat"? "Just a cough"? "Just a runny nose"? Either way, you are contagious and still at risk of infecting others and making the very young, the very old and the very sick very very unwell! Please stay isolated at home, and only leave the house to seek medical attention if you are really unwell! Please let Your Padstow Doctors Plus reception staff know on arrival if you have any of these symptoms. Please phone ahead on 90116709 if you have possibly been in contact with Coronavirus or have been back from overseas travel in the past 14 days! We are here to help, and here to protect you, your loved ones and others around you.

13.01.2022 As of tomorrow, Dr Penelope Aligiannis and Dr Eric Komonen will be offering phone consultations to ALL patients. Phone consultations are preferred for patients ...- who have confirmed Coronavirus - who have been in contact with a person who has confirmed Coronavirus - who have traveled (or any members of the household have traveled) in the past 14 days We also prefer to conduct phone consultations for patients with a cough, cold, fever or runny nose however the clinical team will triage the need for a face to face consultation if needed. Phone consultations are preferred in most cases to protect vulnerable patients who need face to face contact with their GP. Phone consultations will now also be available for allied health and psychologist referrals (care plans). Please phone Your Padstow Doctors Plus on 90116709 if you have any concerns or questions. #StaySafe #StayHome

11.01.2022 Did you know that most health services in the community are actually small businesses run by locals who had a dream? Your community GP who has been caring for your family for as long as you can remember; your physio who helped you get back to pre-injury fitness and helped you avoid surgery; your dietician who helped you manage your chronic illness and helped you avoid medication; your speech therapist who taught you how to help your little one talk and made things alot easier... at home; your psychologist who helped you understand and work through your thoughts and emotions and made you feel like yourself again; your podiatrist who helped those aches and pains that turned out to be related to a flat foot you never knew you had; your OT who assessed the development of your child and helped put your mind at ease...... In times like these, when small businesses are struggling due to self-isolation, we all need your continued support! We dont want you to neglect your health, so we all continue to operate while taking the necessary precautions to protect you. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to adapt to the daily challenges we are all facing.
