Change of Providers
We are currently changing the provider GP for patients who have been enrolled under Dr Julie Martin, Dr Geoff McAlpine and Dr Daniel Strange. There are over 1,500 patients so we apologise that we will be unable to contact each of you individually to inform you of your new provider.
Flu Drive through
We will be offering a flu drive through again this year for adults who are eligible for funded vaccines. The provisional date is Sunday 7th April and will be weather dependent. There will also be appointments available starting on the week beginning the 8th April for all our patients.
Increasing Prescription Charges
Due to an increase in the price of our overheads we will be increasing the price of our prescriptions. Requests through the Doctors App will increase to $17 and requests through reception and the telephone prescription line will be $19. Pay in advance on the Doctors App will begin the week beginning the 1st April. If you pay by Automatic Payment you will not be required to pay in advance. Please phone for your prescription and let us know that you pay by AP. If you have signed up to the app we will still invoice for the App price.
Pay in advance
We have introduced a pay in advance policy for GP consultations and Prescriptions. Patients who have an Automatic Payment are exempt from the prepayment, so if we accidentally send you a text asking for prepayment please call and let us know.
If you have requested a Prescription you will receive a text message asking you to pay. Once the payment is received we will process the prescription as per usual. Prescriptions requested through the app are cheaper than those requested by phone. The Doctors App will shortly be prepay through the app itself which we are hoping will reduce the processing delays.
