Health Screening for Fewer GP Visits

Preventive healthcare aims to limit your visits to the GP. The less you need to see us, the better the job we’re doing.

A mix of proactive health screening and high-quality care can do wonders to prevent illness, detect conditions early, and maintain your best health.

The doctors at our clinic take the time to listen to your symptoms. They’re skilled at knowing the best screening programmes and health assessments to diagnose health issues & prescribe treatment, including for:

• 6-week baby and mum checks
• 45-49 year old health assessment*
• Older person’s health assessment (75+)**
• Bowel cancer screening
• Cervical Screening Test (Pap smear)
• Healthy heart check
• Pregnancy planning
• Skin cancer checks
• Vaccinations

An essential part of preventive care is educating patients on how to best look after their own bodies and minds.

For example, we can teach you self-examination and lifestyle management techniques to better inform decisions affecting your health and well-being.

Please call us on (03) 8579 6838. to make an appointment.
