FLUVAX clinics

And here we go again - time for Fluvax, in preparation for the “season”.

This year we are planning the following :-

SATURDAY 5th APRIL 8am to 10am

WEDNESDAY 9th APRIL 4pm to 6pm

SATURDAY 10th MAY 8am to 10am

These are unbooked, come one-come all clinics, with 4 vaccinators, so that wait times are minimal, but with the intention of having a lot of vaccines delivered to minimise wait times during the normal week. Open to anybody.

Same regulations as last year re funded or not - cost if not funded held at $30.

We hope you will utilise them as in previous years.

Normal weekday booked appointments still exist - these clinics are merely a supplement.

Computer system

We are required to change our practice management system as the current is being phased out.

This means services & appointment availability, will be significantly affected on the changeover day.

ACC on-line service will not be available on the day before.

The “go-live” is scheduled for Wednesday 2nd April, with little service availability on that morning. There will be on-site support people for us that week, but please anticipate a major slowing of service availability as we all adapt.

Thanks for your tolerance in advance.

Nursing update

Kelsey has returned to practice after her stint of maternity leave, and we welcome her back.

Ivanna has joined the practice to replace Casey and we welcome her gladly - she is new to general practice work but adapting quickly.

This means we should return to our normal nursing roster with 5 nurses on at all times, ensuring a better patient experience.

Enrolments

We have currently opened our enrolments to patients new to the area, whose current enrolments are not in zone.

Therefore we may welcome newcomers to the area - enrolment being subject to acceptance of policies and confirmation of residence / current enrolment status.

The updated enrolment form is able to be downloaded from Fees & Services page, BUT completed enrolment form does not ensure acceptance.
