14.01.2022 Dear patients, If you attend our medical practice and are asked if you have any infective or flu like symptoms, any recent travel or other risks for coronavirus, we need you to be 100% honest with us. Similarly, if we ask you to wear a face mask to help reduce the spread of your flu-like symptoms, please wear it properly and be grateful that we are providing you with some of the limited protective equipment that we have. Recently we have had a number of patients being di...shonest and uncooperative with our COVID-19 safety measures, which then puts the health and safety of our staff members, their families and all of our other patients at risk. This behaviour will not be tolerated. If you are found to be intentionally dishonest or uncooperative with such safety measures, practice bans will apply. To everyone else who has been so understanding in recent weeks with our transition to Telehealth and new COVID-19 procedures, thankyou! We are eternally grateful!

13.01.2022 Illawarra Medical Services will be closed on Saturday 20th January. We will re-open Sunday 21st January. In case of an emergency call 000 and for after-hours service contact Wollongong Radio Doctor on 4228 5522. We apologise for this inconvenience.

11.01.2022 Are you worried that you may have symptoms of, or had contact with COVID-19 (coronavirus)? In the interest of safety for our staff and other patients, we ask that you do NOT come into the clinic at this time. Instead, please phone our reception team on 02 42711899 as we can provide you with advice regarding the next steps you may need to take. For general advice regarding cold and flu symptoms, you can also call Healthdirect on: 1800 022 222.... For high risk individuals with recent overseas travel or contact with a returned traveller, or contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, please phone the local Public Health unit on: 1300 066 055. There is also a 24hr/7days National Coronavirus Health Information Line on: 1800 020 080.

11.01.2022 IMS Berkeley would like to say an enormous THANKYOU to our amazing Practice Nurse Bev who has been with the practice for longer than anyone really remembers. Bev has been an absolute pillar of the local Berkeley community and has seen our patients and practice family through all of life's challenges and triumphs. Bev has recently made the heart-breaking decision to finally transition into retirement but she leaves behind a legacy of excellence in General Practice Nursing and... a will be sorely missed. You might still spot Bev in the surgery from time to time as she continues to mentor and support our team of General Practice Nurses and Doctors, so feel free to say hello and let Bev know just how appreciated she is. We love you Bev, and we wish you the happiest time in retirement with your beautiful family! - From all of the IMS Team. xx

08.01.2022 VIDEO CONSULTS NOW AVAILABLE! (BULK-BILLED!) Our GPs have now started to use Health Direct Video to be able to conduct our consults. For may patients this may be safer than a face-to-face consult right now, and there are many advantages for both the patient and doctor of being able to see eachother via video-link. No special app is needed. Your doctor will simply send (via email or sms to your phone or PC) you a web-link to a private online waiting room and they will then... be able to connect directly with you when they are ready to start your appointment. Our clinic virtual "waiting room" can be found at: https://vcc.healthdirect.org.au/t/illawarramedicalserv/join For more information on how Health Direct Video works, they have a patient guide here: https://help.vcc.healthdirect.org.au/attending-a-video-call ****** Now Available for Video Consults ****** Dr Myrna Jover Dr Neill Jover Dr Jessica Molloy Dr Priya Shroff Physiotherapist: Grant Mackay Dietician: Libby Thomas *************************************** Book Online or Phone 4271 1899 now for an appointment: https://healthengine.com.au//illawarra-medical-serv/s13901
