25.01.2022 Good morning East team patients. Our phones and Drs are very busy. This morning we have had notification of another positive case in Ipswich. A revised list of places that they have visited is on West Moreton Health web page. We will be phoning all patients that have appointments to switch them over to phone consults. The 2 walk in clinics are located at Ipswich general hospital or Salvation Army Hall at Bundamba. Keep up your social distancing and do not go to work or school if you are unwell.

25.01.2022 In uncertain times in the midst of a pandemic its even more important that we as a community reach out to all of our loved ones.

24.01.2022 We are a very positive bunch heading into this State of Origin Series. Go Maroon. So good today not 1 Blues supporter at work except for an accidental one.

24.01.2022 Its a bling/glam type of Birthday today. RN Julie celebrated her special day so its all about the glam. EXPECT A CALL to encourage you to have a phone consult, all scripts, referrals, letters and radiology can be completed over the phone. COVID contact tracing has not been completed for the positive patients connected to the IGH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU AND OUR TEAM SAFE. THANKFUL FOR AN UNDERSTANDING PATIENT BASE.

24.01.2022 We have finally placed our sneeze screens in place for the protection of the staff team. As per Government guidelines every patient is being asked to wear a mask in West Moreton regions in medical precincts. Until we have all notifications of contact tracing of the current positives cases in our region we will be offering phone consultations for all patients. Mask up for in clinic consults. Do the 1.5 and hand hygiene is a must.

20.01.2022 Looking back at the last 6 months , what a year at East!!!!! So many changes to how we practice. You too have had changes, 1 we are finding our patients are struggling with is prescription requests. We are no longer doing $10 pick up of scripts, you will need a visit or a phone consultation. To ensure you don’t run out of medication you will need to read your medication box. It will tell you that your last repeat has been filled. That is the prompt to ring and make a phone consult or an appointment. We also have a stash of paperwork, scripts and referrals that are waiting to be picked up following phone consults. Be safe in the stormy weather team patients.
