    NEW AFTER HOURS SERVICE CHANGES
    Mar 26, 2024
    From the 1st March 2024, the Hamilton Medical Group will unfortunately cease to run the 10.00am - 11.00am clinic on Sunday mornings and Public Holidays.   This is due to the critical rural GP workforce shortage which plagues rural towns like Hamilton and its surrounding districts. The change is unfortunately necessary to try and maintain a sustainable workload and avoid burnout, so that we can continue to provide essential medical care to all our patients.   We will continue to provide a Saturday morning walk in clinic from 9.00am - 12.00pm. Urgent care at any hour should be directed to the Emergency Department at WDHS.   Recruiting professionals to rural areas to work and stay has been especially challenging in recent years, despite our continuous recruitment efforts. Our priority is to ensure our community's medical needs are met by providing high quality primary health care. If you know of a GP who might be interested to work at the Hamilton Medical Group, please get in touch with our management team.

  • JUNE IS BOWEL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH


    Jun 16, 2020
    Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer. Bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week (5,375 people a year) - but it's one of the most treatable types of cancer if found early. While the risk of bowel cancer increases significantly with age, the disease doesn't discriminate, affecting men and women, young and old. The Australian Government introduced the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) to reduce the number of deaths from bowel cancer in Australia. Eligible people aged 50-74 will receive a tax-payer funded faecal immunochemical test (FIT) in the mail and are asked to take two separate poo samples before sending the completed test back to the laboratory for analysis.

  • HAMILTON MEDICAL GROUP RECEIVES THE MARK OF QUALITY AS AN ACCREDITED PRACTICE


    Mar 23, 2018

    Hamilton increased its community health credentials when the Hamilton Medical Group received a national award of accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to quality and safety within its practice. The Hamilton Medical Group received this important recognition from Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL), the leading not-for-profit provider of general practice accreditation services within Australia. AGPAL Chair, Dr Richard Choong, said accreditation shows the practice makes a significant investment and commitment to quality on a day-to-day basis, across all levels of the practice team. “Achieving accreditation is a major achievement for any practice and a clear demonstration that (Hamilton Medical Group) is striving to improve their level of care to both patients and the community,” he said. “Practices seek accreditation because they want to do their best and view this as another step towards excellence in patient care." To achieve accreditation, a practice team works over a 12 month period to implement the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Standards for general practices, the recognised national standard for general practices, that provides a template for quality care and risk management. The AGPAL accreditation program was developed to provide a range of minimum expectations for patients surrounding safety and care by assessing the practice environment and their processes. Accreditation was developed jointly by AGPAL and primary health organisations and peak bodies, including the Australian Medical Association (AMA). Areas of focus during an on-site assessment for accreditation include: ensuring vaccines are within their use-by-date and stored at the correct temperatures, that the practice equipment is clean and sterile, practice staff are up-to-date with their training, and the practice has emergency care available. Dr Choong said accreditation is attainable only through cooperation and communication between staff members. "Everyone at the practice plays a valuable role in working to meet the RACGP Standards. It gives staff a real sense of pride to work in an accredited practice," added Dr Choong. Hamilton Medical Group proudly displays the AGPAL Accredited Symbol for all their patients to see. “We want community members, nationwide to know that their wellbeing is our priority. By choosing to attend an accredited practice, patients know they will get quality and safe care that meets the RACGP Standards.” AGPAL is the leading not-for-profit provider in general practice accreditation services; for further information on AGPAL please visit www.agpal.com.au or free call 1300 362 111.   ENDS Media Contact AGPAL Emily Geering 07 3876 6370 info@agpal.com.au
