From today we have teamed with HotDoc to bring you a better health care experience.

It will now be even easier for you to make, reschedule or cancel online appointments with us anytime, anywhere.

Simply download the HotDoc app on your phone through the App Store or Google Play and set up your account. You can also set up an account through an internet browser if you prefer. Bookings can still be made directly through our website.

Appointment reminders will come through as an SMS 24 hours before your appointment, simply click on the link to confirm, cancel, or reschedule your appointment. Alternatively, you can reply YES or NO to this message.

The way we conduct telehealth (video) consultations has also changed. This will now be done through HotDoc.

The link to the video call will be provided to you though your booking confirmation email (if booked online), the appointments tab in the mobile/web app (if you have this set up) and/or via the appointment reminder that will be sent to you via SMS.

There will be more changes coming, so stay tuned and we will inform you of these as they happen.

With the increase in COVID-19 transmission within the community, we will be making the following changes to protect our Doctors, staff and most importantly our patients.

It is a condition of entry that masks are to be worn at all times while inside the practice, including in the Doctors room. We also highly recommend that children wear a mask. This is to protect yourself, other patients, and in particular those who may be more vulnerable, as well as our reception, nursing and medical staff.

We also ask that you attend appointments aloneif possible or with one other person, maintain social distancing where possible and maintain proper hand hygiene practices.

Telehealth refers to a consultation that is done via video on your smartphoneOur Doctors use a program called “GP Consult” to conduct these. When the Doctor is ready, you will be sent a SMS message to your phone asking you to click on a link to get started, accept the call, and it will then connect you via video.

For patients who have ANY of the symptoms below, a telehealth consultation will be required in the first instance. If the Doctor deems it necessary that they see you face to face, they will organise this during the telehealth consultation.

Fever

Cough

Sore Throat

Shortness of Breath

Fatigue

Diarrhoea

Vomiting or Nausea

Loss of Smell and/or Taste

Earache

Rash
