13.01.2022 If you meet the criteria mentioned, please head to 138 Thuringowa Drive for testing. If you have mild cold/flu symptoms without the travel or exposure criteria, please avoid coming to the practice and isolate at home until your symptoms resolve. GPs are under extreme pressure in these difficult times, we ask you to seriously consider whether your visit is absolutely essential before coming to the practice.

13.01.2022 Please see the below advice from Townsville Hospital. For the safety of our patients, if you meet the criteria for testing as mentioned, we are asking that you present to the hospital for testing. If you are unwell but have not travelled, been in close contact with someone who has travelled or been in close contact with a confirmed case, you do not meet the criteria for Covid-19 testing and it is best you just rest and wait it out like any other illness.

13.01.2022 Vaccination for Whooping Cough is not only important for pregnant mothers, but anyone who will be cuddling the baby in it’s first few weeks of life. Speak to your GP about vaccinations if you, or someone you know is expecting a baby.

08.01.2022 A lot of great information about receiving your flu vaccination early is being circulated by the government and media. However, many practices have experienced difficulties in obtaining enough vaccines from suppliers for private stock and the government for funded stock. We are still awaiting our supply of government funded vaccines for vulnerable patients (ie., those with asthma, diabetes and other chronic illnesses), and have not yet been able to order more 65years + vacci...nes. Please be patient with us as we endeavour to obtain enough stock to help everyone. Please remember to call the practice to book an appointment if you’re wanting your flu vaccination so we can allocate time with a nurse and ensure we have enough stock for you. Due to limits on numbers inside the practice and pressures on our nursing staff currently, we cannot accept walk-ins for flu vaccinations. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

07.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. This is even more important to ask in this significant and isolating year. Just because we are isolating and self distancing to stop the spread, we need to use technology to our advantage and reach out to those who are struggling in these times. Never be afraid to ask if someone is ok? That conversation could change their life! If you need health professional assistance, please contact our clinic on 4723 5700 for an appointment.

In most cases we will still be able to see you, we will just take extra precautions in order to protect everyone. We thank you for your patience with these changes that we’ve had to make....
