25.01.2022 Due to COVID-19, Unihealth Playford has implemented some new restrictions around the clinic. We have had several door closures including SA Pathology and the Teaching and Training/Allied Health department. Our SA Pathology entrance from inside the clinic has had to shut, however, you can still enter the pathology centre via the outside glass door which is opposite On the Run service station on Unity Way.... You may also notice the adjoining glass door between our front reception and allied health reception in the Teaching and Training department closed. This is to help minimise traffic between the buildings, ensure patient safety and avoid cross contamination. If you are needing to come to an Allied Health appointment (including Podiatry, Exercise Physiology, Dietician and Diabetes Educator) then please use our 252 entrance on Curtis Road. These numbers are written above the entrance doors if you are unsure. Please keep in mind that these closures are solely for the safety of everyone that enters the clinic as we are screening ALL patients with the necessary criteria. Please be patient with our reception staff as we endeavour to keep everyone as safe and free from COVID-19 as much as possible. Thank you

21.01.2022 As the practice manager I would like to thank our Health professionals and nurses for the outstanding work they are doing during the Covid 19 pandemic. Also a big thank you to the reception and admin people that are also frontline staff that do not get recognised in the mainstream media. They put up with some difficult questions and behaviour from the general public and all the extra paperwork. You are all doing amazing work many many thanks to the great team that we have.

17.01.2022 Please be advised that at Unihealth Playford, we are continuing Telehealth consultations with our GPs ONLY if the patient has physically attended the clinic within the last 12 months, as per Medicare criteria.

17.01.2022 With COVID-19 restrictions gradually easing, Unihealth Playford are now back to conducting face-to-face appointments for our Chronic Disease Management (CDM) patients. The Chronic Disease Managment services on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) enable GPs to plan and co-ordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions, including patients with these conditions who require multidisciplinary, team-based care from a GP and at least two other hea...lth or care providers. A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke. THERE IS NO LIST OF ELIGIBLE CONDITIONS; however, the CDM items are designed for patients who require a structured approach, including those requiring ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team. If this is you, phone Unihealth Playford today on 8254 4500 to book a general consultation with your GP.
