Chronic Disease Management
If you suffer from a chronic disease, you’ll know that a good GP is crucial to helping you live well with your condition. All our doctors are experienced in diagnosing and managing a range of chronic diseases, including:
- asthma
- diabetes
- heart disease
- high blood pressure
- chronic pain
- arthritis
- thyroid conditions
- blood disorders
- osteoporosis
- emphysema
- dementia
- chronic bowel conditions
- cancer
- kidney or liver problems
You may be eligible for a government-funded personalised plan to assist you to manage your condition as well as maintain your health and fitness into the future – this support includes six monthly reviews.
If you are eligible, your doctor will involve 2 other providers who support ongoing care for your specific condition(s), one of whom must be an allied health professional. Once these providers have been contacted by our Practice and they have agreed to be involved, you will be eligible to see the allied health professional at a subsidised cost – we will send you a referral to allow you to claim this benefit.
