Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the highest standard of patient health outcomes, whilst prioritising patient care and satisfaction, incorporating a holistic approach toward diagnosis and management of illness. We are committed to promoting health, wellbeing and disease prevention to all patients. We do not discriminate in the provision of excellent care and aim to treat all patients without prejudice and with due dignity and respect.
To keep an eye on your physical health we recommend periodic health checks; before school, at puberty, when planning pregnancy, during pregnancy, women’s health screening checks and routine yearly checks for everyone over 40. We aim to provide the best that traditional medicine can offer in terms of diagnosis and treatment, whilst maintaining an open mind towards other therapies. You will find that we use many forms of treatment, not always drugs, and that diet and lifestyle changes are discussed as an important part of treatment.

Reminders and Recalls
This practice uses a ‘Recall and Reminder’ system to provide preventive care for its patients.
This will assist in ensuring that important health checks are not forgotten and performed on time. You will be reminded when it is time to visit your doctor for a check-up or a s a follow-up to health risks that have previously been found.
In some cases, the reminders can be sent form other places, for example, the government Pap Test Register.
We will use information from your health record to tell is the check-ups for which you are due and when you should visit your doctor to discuss the tests that are needed.
Our doctors follow the guidelines for preventive care as outlined in the R.A.C.G.P. ‘Guidelines for Preventive Activities in General Practice. The guidelines are in line with the recommendations of organisations such as the National Health and Medical Research Council, the National Heart Foundation and others.
By allowing us to send these reminders, you will help us to detect serious conditions early and to monitor known conditions. This can significantly improve the long-term outcome for you.
When you have had your test your doctor or the nurse will tell you when the results will be ready. Even when you agree to be included in the Recall and Reminder system, you should always remember to return to see the doctor to get the results of any test that has been performed. We may not always be able to reach you, especially if you have moved and the contact information on your record has not been updated.
