2018 Flu Vaccines
The Ballarat Group Practice will be running organised Flu Clinics at each Practice starting late April 2018.
The appointments during these Clinic times have been set up to allow doctors enough time to administer a flu vaccination for each patient only. By running these brief appointments consecutively, we hope to reduce waiting time for patients. If you require any other service in addition to the flu vaccine please book a regular GP appointment.
E Health Records
Ballarat Group Practice is My Health Record ready. Having a My Health Record means your important health information, including allergies, current conditions and treatments and medicine details, can be digitally stored in one place. Healthcare providers such as doctors, specialists and hospital staff can see these details online from anywhere at any time with your consent, or an emergency situation. If you need more information about how to access your My Health Record please call today.
Ferinject Infusions New to the Arch
Ferinject is an intravenous iron preparation used in the treatment of iron deficiency conditions. BGP at the Arch now offer Ferinject infusions on site for the treatment of patients with iron deficiency when oral iron preparations are ineffective or cannot be used. The aim of the therapy is to replenish body iron stores and to remedy anaemia.
