Immunisation
This practice actively supports Immunisation for all ages and can be arranged by appointment at any time. The practice allows Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons for immunisation clinics. A full range of childhood immunisations are available at all times, adult and travel immunisations can be accommodated upon request.
Best medical care suggests that you make an appointment to discuss your medication before being issued with a repeat prescription as most long term prescriptions allow 3 months supply, after which time a review of your circumstances should be made. Please advise staff and they will book you into a ‘pit stop’ appointment. This is a 5min appointment during which the doctor will write your prescription only; any other matters will need to be dealt with at another appointment.
Preventative Care
The practice is committed to preventative care. We may issue a reminder notice offering preventative health services appropriate to the patient's care.
Antenatal Care can be provided by the Doctors at both the Kapunda and Eudunda Medical Practice but deliveries and post natal care will be handled at either the Kapunda or Eudunda Hospital. Shared care with specialists is encouraged for patients needing special care.
All messages are taken by the receptionist and relayed to the doctor concerned. A consultation will not normally be interrupted to answer the phone.
This service if required can be arranged through the Interpreting Services at 55 Currie Street Adelaide on 131450. This is a 24 hour service.
Confidentiality
Your medical record is a confidential
document. It is the policy of this practice to maintain security of personal
health information at all times and to ensure that this information is only
available to authorised members of staff.
The Kapunda and Eudunda Medical Practice endeavours to provide a comprehensive, high quality service for patients. From time to time the practice invites patients to complete a questionnaire on their views and how the practice could be improved. These surveys are completely confidential and help to improve the services we are providing to you.
The practice is keen to be informed if patients
are unhappy with any aspect of the care provided and are encouraged to discuss
these issues with the practice manager or the appropriate general practitioner.
There are also options of using our suggestion box located in the waiting room
or writing directly to the practice. If required contact may be made with the
Health Advice and Complaints Unit at 11 Hindmarsh Square, Adelaide.
