If you have undergone tests, you will most likely require a follow-up consultation so the doctor can discuss the results with you. This helps ensure you understand the results and allows the doctor to provide clear instructions if there is a change in the course of your treatment. In the interest of privacy, test results can only be given to the client themselves.
If you are planning to travel overseas, talk to one of our doctors today for the most up-to-date information about the
vaccinations and medications relevant to your travel destination. Some vaccinations have to be given within strict timeframes prior to
travel, so see us today and ensure your maximum protection.
You may sometimes need a doctor’s letter to support having specific medications on your person while you travel. We can assist you with this. Our travel consultation provides you with all the information you need to prepare for your journey, so you can have the confidence and peace of mind to enjoy your travel.
Immunisation protects children and adults from a number of harmful and potential deadly diseases. Immunisation is available for diseases such as whooping cough, tetanus, measles, mumps, polio, hepatitis B, rubella, diphtheria and haemophilus influenzae.
An ECG is a medical test that can detect abnormal heart rhythms and conditions such as heart attacks, damaged or inflamed heart muscle, enlarged hearts, and congenital abnormalities. During an ECG, small sensor pads are attached to the chest, arms and legs. These pads detect and transmit the heart’s electrical activity, and records this on a monitor screen or piece of paper for the doctor to assess. An ECG is a quick, painless, non-invasive procedure.
A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart's activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used. The device is the size of a small camera. It has wires with silver dollar-sized electrodes that attach to your skin.

In today’s work culture, the use of employment medicals is more common than ever before. Some employers require a full medical prior to

checklist.

Blood pressure – People can have high blood pressure without knowing about it. If high blood pressure remains undetected over time, it can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Reducing blood pressure can reduce these risks, and treatment does not always require medication. All adults should have their blood pressure checked annually – or more frequently if you have a history of high blood pressure.
Diabetes is a common disorder which often goes undetected while causing damage to your vision and vital organs. Ask your doctor about diabetes risks and testing – especially if there is a history of diabetes in your family.
