​

Pathology & Test Results

• As part of our privacy policy and due to risks associated with electronic communication (i.e. phone and email) we do not discuss results using these means.

• Therefore, an appointment with the doctor will need to be booked, following the regular procedure. Reception will recall patients whose results need reviewing and in urgent cases the doctor will contact you.

​

​

Repeat Prescriptions

• Most prescriptions provide sufficient medication to last until your conditions needs reviewing. Repeat prescriptions are therefore only given after an assessment of your condition is done during a consultation, where the doctor will reassess and prescribe as deemed necessary.

​

Interpreter Services

• Not only do we use NABS, a service that provides interpreters for deaf, deafblind and people hard of hearing, but we’re also members of TIS who provides on-site or phone interpreting for non-English speaking patients.

• Interpreter bookings must be made in advance so please ensure you advise reception with as much notice as possible if you require this service.
