12 Monthly Prescriptions

The majority of our prescriptions will continue to be the standard 3 Months as most medications, and their associated conditions, require this degree of oversight.  If a patient is requesting anything more than a 3 Month script then the patient should make an appointment to see their clinican or contact them via Manage My Health.  As yet we have not been informed how we should indicate a 12 month script on the PMS system.  This will become clear over the next few weeks.

ADHD Assessments and Prescribing

We will continue undertake the standard consultation process to assess for ADHD however none of the clinicians in our practice are specialist trained to prescribe ADHD medications so will refer for assessment, as we have done, to appropriately trained specialists for the foreseeable future​

 

Appointments - making the most out of your consultations:

• Our standard appointments are 15 minutes

• Book a double appointment if you have lots to discuss

• Follow-up consultations incur a standard appointment fee (no discount)

• Please turn off your cellphone during your consultation time

• Prioritize the things you wish to discuss

• Generally, the GP can cover 1-2 things during your 15 min appointment time

• Unexpected urgent problems or emergencies affecting other patients will occur and may delay the time you see you GP.  If you think you have been waiting too long please tell our Receptionists.
