Why Are We Here?
We want to improve people's lives.
How Do We Do It?
We focus on what matters most for each person.
What Do We Do?
We provide the best possible whole patient care, in a happy dynamic practice.
We Pursue Excellence
A good doctor should always repeatedly examine recent research in order to determine the best way forward.
At our practice however we go beyond just looking at the results of research, we are actively involved in new research projects which will bring new and exciting evidence supporting the best possible delivery of health care to you.
At Junction Street Medical Practice and Cambewarra Mountain Health you can feel confident that your general practice is on the cutting edge of new and exciting research aimed at bettering the health of all people.
We offer flexibility
Whilst we encourage patients to have a regular doctor who can provide comprehensive care with attention to planning for future health needs, we recognise that health needs are unpredictable and medical attention is often needed at short notice. All our doctors will work together to provide for your health needs if you do need to consult with someone other than your usual GP.
Further, At Junction Street Family Practice we recognise and understand that sometimes the service you need does not always require a consultation and some doctors will be able to provide repeat prescriptions or referrals for their regular patients when appropriate. We also have the facility for you to book your appointment online at any time of the day.
Please note These online services are exclusively for use of the regular patients of this practice.
We Foster Education
Regular patients in our practice may have found they are asked to either see a medical student or have a medical student sitting in on their consultation. This is because we are committed to the training of our future medical workforce.
We bring students into our practice with a view to them joining the practice at completion of the training. This gives back to the medical community, invests in the future of our town, business, and wider community, and provides opportunity to young talent.
It also ensures we always have fresh minds bringing new ideas and methodologies into our practice. If you are comfortable with it, please assist us by agreeing to see a student as part of your medical team.
We strive for improvement
Ongoing education is a priority at Junction Street Family Practice and we are actively learning and teaching all the time. This means that you are always getting the most up to date, quality general practice medical care.
In this spirit we offer a level of care that is both greater than most clinics and is over a wider range of specialties. For example, our practice offers care across the whole range of ages with special interests in ante natal care, child and baby health, occupational and sports medicine, chronic and complex care and aged care medicine. We run a skin clinic utilising computerised dermatoscopic imaging with skin mapping and photo-documentation of skin lesions. We are able to perform minor surgical techniques on site. We can perform many specialised services here in the surgery such as cardiac monitoring, lung function tests, arterial pressure tests, and monitoring of glucose and warfarin therapy using finger prick blood tests.
CONSULTATIONS
TELEHEALTH
Due to the risks of transmission of the Covid 19 virus we are conducting as many consultations as we are able via either telephone or video consultation.
We are glad to still be offering telephone and video consultations for the convenience and safety of our patients. These appointments are not routinely bulk billed. If there is a charge the doctor will transfer you back to a receptionist, or a receptionist will call you later to take payment over the phone.
FACE TO FACE
If you have an issue that feel requires a face to face consultation please discuss this with one of our receptionists. You will be screened for respiratory symptoms and it may be more appropriate for you to have a telehealth consultation before proceeding to face to face.
When attending the Practice you MUST wear a mask (even if you have a mask exemption, we will require you to wear one for the short time you are having your consultation). We have set up an outdoor shelter and chairs and will ask you to sit outside while you wait for your appointment. Please attend either on your own or in the case of a parent or carer, please only have one other person attend with the patient.
Thank you for your co-operation at this unusual time, our staff will be able to answer any questions you have relating to our policies and protocols to protect you.
