25.01.2022 A moment in history as our first Covid vaccination is administered at GPs on Curzon.

25.01.2022 Over 15,000 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year, and unfortunately, each week over 100 people die. June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month so if you have concerns, particularly about a change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your GP so you dont become a statistic. Visit https://gpsoncurzon.com.au/ and find our booking button or call 4633 9000 or visit https://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/bowel-cancer-awareness and play a part. #bowelcancerawareness #bowelcancer #gpsoncurzon

25.01.2022 The Federal Department of Health has approved GPs on Curzon to be a Covid 19 vaccine site. They have not let us know the exact date that this will commence. We are hoping to have some vaccines available from Mid-April onwards. Our practice has only been allocated 50 AstraZeneca vaccines per week. Hence, this will mean it will take time to phone or message our patients as to when they are eligible to book for a vaccine. Hence, we ask for your patience and understanding during... this time. The first group of patients we are allowed to vaccinate are group 1b (over 70-year-olds and patients with an eligible medical condition). Please use this link to check your Eligibility on the Government website - https://covid-vaccine. healthdirect.gov.au/ eligibility There are other alternatives in Toowoomba available for vaccinations if you feel you need a more urgent AstraZeneca Covid 19 vaccine. The Respiratory clinic on the Corner of James and Neil St (46324888), the Respiratory clinic at the Toowoomba General Hospital (46166000) and the Respiratory Clinic at Carbal Medical Centre Kearney Springs (4580 1400) have been allocated a larger number of AstraZeneca Vaccines and may be able to vaccinate eligible patients sooner. Please look out for a SMS phone message or a phone call from our friendly staff when we can notify you that you are able to book or come into GPs on Curzon for your Vaccine. Keep your eye on our website for any updated Covid-19 vaccine practice information. https://gpsoncurzon.com.au/covid-19-vaccine-practice-infor/ #GPsOnCurzon #covidvaccinerollout #covidvaccine

25.01.2022 Chief Medical Officer with an important update on testing and social distancing (with captions).

24.01.2022 Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt is encouraging those with chronic illness to stay in touch with their GPs and not neglect their regular health concerns. With that in mind, GPs on Curzon would like to share the exciting news at the return to practice of Dr. Peta Carriline. Her return comes at a time when the community needs qualified, caring and experienced practitioners and patients need reassurance their health concerns are still the priority. Dr. Carriline is an example of commitment to her patients and profession. You can read her bio on our staff page https://gpsoncurzon.com.au/our-staff/ or book an appointment with her at https://gpsoncurzon.com.au/appointments/

24.01.2022 We are excited to have Dr Peta Carriline working with us again. Peta graduated Medicine at James Cook University in 2008, and subsequently completed her Fellowship of General Practice FRACGP in 2013. She holds a Diploma of Child Health and Family Planning National Certificate in Sexual and Reproductive Health. Her special interests include Womens Health through the ages (contraception, pregnancy planning and antenatal care, menopause), as well as chronic disease management and preventative health care. Peta also works part time in medical education, working with general practitioners in training. When not at work, Peta is kept busy with her three busy young sons. Peta is very happy to accept new patients via phone or Video consultation first. Then if required She will organise a Face to Face appointment in the rooms.
