Referral & Prescription Requests
Please see your Doctor if you require a prescription or a referral to see a specialist. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide prescriptions or referrals over the phone.
Telephone Calls & Communications
Your Doctor is accessible by phone. However, we ask that phone calls be kept to a minimum to avoid disruptions to consultations in progress. Reception can promptly email your Doctor and request a return phone call to be made based upon urgency. Your call may be transferred through to clinical staff. All correspondance is by phone or mail, unfortunately due to privacy & security, we do not email documents etc.
Test Results
Reception staff will ring you to schedule an appointment if directed by the Doctor and based upon urgency, to discuss & collect results. We are sorry, but we are unable to provide results over the phone except under special circumstances.
Special Note
Despite our best intentions, we sometimes run late. This is because a patient has needed unexpected urgent attention. Be assured when it is your turn you will be given the time you deserve.
Please note our doctors cannot backdate medical certificates.
