This month it’s National Diabetes Week. It’s a timely reminder that up to 500,000 Australians could be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.
Meet Samu, whose story shows how the warning signs can be easy to miss.
A few simple changes can make a real difference.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PATIENTS
Due to COVID-19, we need to ensure we can identify our patients’ needs and triage them accordingly. For the safety of you and our staff, we are currently unable to accept online bookings.
To make your booking, please call 02 4328 2811 and speak to our friendly reception team.
The flu (also called influenza) is a contagious infection of the airways. It is especially serious for some people. As part of the National Immunisation Program, the flu vaccine is free for:
children over 6 months of age, people over 65 years, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent, pregnant women, and those with significant risk of medical complication.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to help protect from severe illness caused by the flu.
Due to new practice policies, we will need to identify patients’ needs and provide appropriate care in order to treat patients effectively.
When a patient calls to make an appointment, you will be asked about the nature of the visit to your doctor. In letting us know briefly the reason, we can ensure the appropriate care is given within an appropriate period.
