Chronic Disease Management
Many older patients are managing one or more chronic health conditions. Our GPs work with seniors to develop structured care plans, monitor conditions over time, and coordinate care across multiple healthcare providers where needed.
A GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangement may be developed for eligible patients, which can allow access to Medicare rebates for a set number of allied health consultations per calendar year. Your GP will discuss whether these plans are appropriate for your situation.
Medication Reviews
Managing multiple medications can be complex, and regular reviews are an important part of staying safe and well. Your GP can review your current medications, discuss any concerns, and work with you to ensure your medications are appropriate and well-managed.
Immunisations for Seniors
Older adults may be eligible for a range of vaccines, some of which are available at no cost under the National Immunisation Program. These may include the annual flu vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine, and the shingles vaccine. Your GP can discuss which vaccinations may be recommended based on your age and health history.
Mental Health Support
Mental health is just as important in later life as at any other stage. Our GPs can provide mental health assessments, develop care plans, and connect older patients with appropriate support services. If you are concerned about your own mental health or that of an older family member, a conversation with a GP is a good starting point.
