Diabetes is certainly becoming more prevalent in our society today. Having said that, a diagnosis of diabetes does not necessarily mean condemnation to a lifetime of woe. With relevant knowledge and self-initiative, Diabetes is potentially a very manageable problem.
Here at the Health Group of surgeries, we have Credentialled Diabetes Educators consulting onsite to assist in the education of our diabetic patients. We also welcome external referrals to the Diabetic Educators who would be able to liase with and send correspondence back to your usual GP.
Consultations are conducted by appointment and include one-on-one sessions for an assessment and education. Referrals under a GP Care Plan attract a Medicare Rebate and in addition, some health funds also offer a rebate for consultations with a Diabetic Educator. In addition, we also hold Diabetes Education and support groups in conjunction with an Exercise Physiologist to assist and empower the patient and motivate them in the process of self-management of Diabetes.
All consultations can be made by ringing our friendly reception staff at any of our centres.
In addition, more information can be obtained from the SA Diabetes Educator Website - the link is to the left of this paragraph.
As people become more aware of the outbreak of Swine Flu in the last year both locally and overseas, it is timely to remind everyone that Swine Flu immunisations are available at any of our surgeries.
For all Australian Medicare Card holders, the Pandemic H1N1 (Swine Flu) Vaccine is being made available for Free due to generous funding from the Australian Federal Govt. The Vaccine is safe and is effective at protecting you from catching Swine Flu within 2 weeks of immunisation. Adults require one dose whilst children under 10 require 2 doses of the Junior Panvax 1 month apart.
Our nurses at all our surgeries assist us in administering the vaccines and bookings can be made on 83658111, 83376888 or 83371000.
Flu Vaccines are now available at all three surgerys. For patients under the age of 65 the cost is $20, which is payable on the day of the immunisation. For patients 65 years and older the flu vaccine is free as it is government funded.
