Important Information
We can give the best care to our patients by following up results of any investigations by discussing them with you in person. At the end of your consultation your doctor will let you know when to make a follow up appointment when your results will be available.
If we receive a result that needs urgent attention we will contact you via phone.
Erskineville Doctors participates in the following national health registers:
- Australian Immunisation Register
- National Cervical Screening Program Register
You will receive reminder notices from these organisations for overdue childhood immunisations or cervical screening tests. NSW Health has also developed a “Save the Date” application for childhood immunisations.
The practice will not send additional reminders for scheduled childhood immunisations.
If you wish to opt out of either of these registers please let your doctor know.
We treat all health information in strictest confidence. We will not disclose your information to third parties without your informed consent.
