Doctors in this practice are very competent at handling all the common health problems. When necessary, they are able to seek an opinion from a Specialist. Referral letters to Specialist Doctors for a new condition will require an appointment. In most instances, the doctor will write the letter at the appointment time.

Continuing Referrals

Whether or not you will be required to make an appointment may depend on how long it has been since the last consultation with our Doctor and if any tests are required before seeing the Specialist Doctor.

Is is not our practice to issue prescriptions without the patient being seen, other than for the continuing treatment of chronic conditions. Even in these cases, regular reviews with your Doctor are necessary. If a prescription is required and you have been seen by your Doctor within the previous 3 months, please make your request to the receptionist with the name and strength of the medication, the quantity and time of the day the medication is taken. A charge applies for scripts written without a consultation. Prescriptions can usually be collected the day following the request. Any patients requiring Authority scripts will need to make an appointment to see the Doctor. Please talk to the Nursing staff if you have a problem.
