All efforts will be made to ensure that you have an appointment with the Doctor / Nurse of your choice. We want to encourage continuity of care. However, due to some doctors not working on a full-time basis, it is not always possible to give you an appointment with your regular doctor. For urgent situations, you will be offered an appointment with another Doctor. We do hold urgent same day appointments for the day, however these do get booked up quickly. If you want to see your regular GP and it is not an urgent matter, please allow at least four days notice so that we can ensure that you can have an appointment with your preferred provider.

You may require laboratory tests including blood tests.

You will not be contacted if your results are in normal range and do not require any changes as a result.
You can access your lab results once they have been checked and filed, via Manage My Health. You can sign up to Manage My Health online or contact us about how to register.
