24.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. It's an opportunity for us all to be breast aware and support those affected by the disease in our community. Early detection is essential, and a quick and simple self-check can help you to identify any changes, including: A new lump or lumpiness, especially if it's only in one breast.... A change in the size or shape of your breast. A change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness, or inversion. A nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing. A change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling. An unusual pain that doesn't go away. Remember, most changes aren’t due to breast cancer, but it’s essential to see your GP without delay if you notice any of these changes. To book an appointment, please call us on 8270 1194 or visit www.flagstaffhillmedicalcentre.com.au

COTA will reschedule this event once it is safe to do so. Keep an eye on our page for a new date.

18.01.2022 Recently, we welcomed our first nursing student to Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre. Bethany is a third-year Bachelor of Nursing Student at Flinders University and worked alongside our Registered Nurses for eight weeks for her final placement. Bethany was a delight! She was professional and enthusiastic and took advantage of the learning opportunities presented to her. We wish Bethany the very best as she nears the completion of her studies!

16.01.2022 During the current COVID-19 outbreak in Adelaide, we have reintroduced a number of measures at our clinic for the safety of our patients, doctors, and staff. These safety measures include: Encouraging telephone appointments (where possible). Limiting the time of face-to-face appointments. Encouraging all patients to wear a face mask while in the clinic.... We are also continuing to observe social distancing >1.5m and are limiting the number of patients in our waiting room. If you have symptoms of the flu, a cold, or a loss of sense of smell or taste, then a COVID-19 test is necessary. Please refer to the SA Health website (https://bit.ly/32OluXK) for a list of COVID-19 clinics and testing centres. If you are unwell and have respiratory symptoms, please ask for a telephone appointment with a GP, and a safe review will be arranged. Please be assured that our clinic is COVID-19 safe. The Government has restricted Medicare GP telehealth items to circumstances where a patient has an existing relationship with a general practice (i.e., the patient has visited a GP in the practice face-to-face in the last 12 months), other than for children aged under 12 months or patients who are homeless. A private or gap fee may be incurred for telephone or video consults.
