Preventative Health

LONG-TERM HEALTH WITH PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE

Men’s and Women’s Health Assessment

At Medsana Medical Clinic our focus is on empowering you to optimise you health and wellbeing. We focus not only treating disease but on early detection, prevention and helping you live as well and as healthily as possible.

We offer a comprehensive health assessment for men and women of all ages to identify areas of risk and create a management plan tailored to your needs.

Weight Management

Doctors work closely with our allied health professionals including dietitian and exercise physiologist to provide you with support and a tailored management plan for weight loss.

We discuss all the options available for weight loss and help you choose the right path for long term results.

"I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s."

Skin Cancer Screening and Skin Cancer Excisions

Our doctors perform skin cancer checks and are experienced in removal of skin lesions.

Our state of the art treatment room is equipped for minor procedures such as mole removal and suturing of lacerations.  We also have skin glue!

Immunisations for long-term protection

At Medsana Medical Clinic we believe in being proactive about keeping you well.

Providing vaccinations such as influenza vaccines, whooping cough vaccines, shingle vaccines and routine boosters is an important part of our approach to preventative medicine.

Timely PCR Swab Service

Available between 8:30am – 9am

 

  1. Short Telephone Consult with the patient – bulk billed if Medicare eligible. Private fees with no Medicare rebates apply if the patient has not seen us in the last 12 months.
  2. The doctor will request a respiratory panel for viruses and bacteria (where clinically appropriate).  For example, Influenza, Covid, RSV, mycoplasma, pertussis and so forth.  Not all possible infections are on this panel.  The doctor may decline the request if it is not appropriate and direct the patient accordingly.
  3. Normal fees will apply if more than swabbing is requested.  Clinical examination and other requests requires a normal consultation at another time.
  4. Patient arrives at the car park next to Building 10 before 11am.  Or takes the pathology request to another 4Cyte collection centre.
  5. Patient calls reception to notify of their arrival so the 4Cyte Pathology Collector can gown up and go the patient’s car to swab the patient.
  6. PCR swab gets sent to 4Cyte.  The processing times varies according to workflows.
  7. 4Cyte will SMS the patient with the Covid results.  Positive PCR test results for other respiratory viruses or bacteria are not named.  A negative PCR result doesn’t mean the patient is infection free.  These swabs narrow down the possibilities and guide appropriate treatments.
  8. An appropriate appointment needs to be made for results in person, via video or via phone.  Normal fees applies for these consult.  Normal fees applies if the doctor calls the patient for further clinical advice and management.
