Telehealth

Cold and Flu Update

Thank you to all for respecting our clinic policies to keep everyone safe during the COVID- 19 pandemic and the Flu season. It is still very important that anyone with respiratory symptoms including sore throat, running nose, loss of taste or smell, fever, sore ears or sinus pain, DO NOT ENTER the clinic as we have a duty to protect other vulnerable patients in the waiting room.

Respiratory patients will be able to see their doctors inside the clinic providing they have evidence of a negative RAT taken on the same day. Patients with respiratory conditions should book their appointments by phone, not online. They should ring to inform clinic staff upon arrival to their appointments and remain waiting in the car until instructed to come into the clinic by their doctor. They are required to wear a mask upon entering the clinic building.

Masks are now not mandatory inside the waiting room. However, they are still recommended for vulnerable individuals.

Telehealth appointments are still available for patients who are too unwell to come into the clinic.

COVID-19 Vaccinations

Magill Family Practice has started providing COVID vaccination boosters to patients aged 12 years and over.

It is important to remember COVID- 19 is still with us. ATAGI recommends all adults age 18 years or over can get a booster if it has been 6 months or longer since their last COVID -19 booster or confirmed infection (whichever is most recent) for additional protection against severe illness from COVID -19.
