16.01.2022 ATTENTION ALL PATIENTS Please see below change in Covid-19 Directions for our Local Govenment area. As a result we will be returning to the majority of patient consults will be via telephone and only if deemed necessary by the clinical staff will you need to present to the practice. Early last week you would have received a letter from the Director General and Chief Health Officer attaching the Pandemic Response Guidance on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in Healthcare D...elivery (the Guidance). The letter advised that in application of the Guidance, the Chief Health Officer will determine which level of risk is applicable in each Hospital and Health Service (HHS), Local Government Area (LGA) or other specified geographic area. A decision on whether to follow the PPE protocols in the Guidance for health services will then sit with the responsible Chief Executive or equivalent for that entity. At the time of that letter, your geographic area was considered low risk. I am writing to advise that this risk rating has been modified, and from 0800 on Monday 31 August, the following Local Government Areas are reclassified to Moderate risk. Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Goondiwindi Region South Burnett Region Southern Downs Region Toowoomba Region Western Downs Region Moderate risk requires use of flat surgical masks in most clinical settings for staff, patients and visitors. The full version of the Guidance is attached again for your convenience and provides further detail. This risk rating will remain in place for a minimum of four weeks and will be extended until there is clear containment of community transmission. This communication is provided to you as guidance but does not reflect a mandatory directive. However, as the health systems responds, we are ensuring transparent communication of our risk assessment and approach.

15.01.2022 Wambo Medical would like to say a big thank you to our practice nurses on International Nurses Day. Your hard work and dedication makes a difference to so many people’s lives each day.

08.01.2022 We are very excited to inform you know that we have the Bone Bus coming to Jandowae and will be at our practice from the 21st to the 23rd of July. This a first for and Jandowae and the surrounding area to access to a mobile health service and hope to have more services visit us in the future. This is a great opportunity for our over 70’s patients to access their recommended Bone Mineral Density Scans locally rather than travelling to Toowoomba for this service. It is recomm...ended that all men and women over 70 have this scan to identify the risk of Osteoporosis which increases the risk of fractures. Call our practice on 46685188 to make an appointment for a referral. Some men and women 50-70 years old may also be eligible. Please contact our Practice to discuss this with our team. We encourage people to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure this service comes to Jandowae regularly.
