Our practice does not prescribe S8 drugs or drugs of dependence on the first consultation. Our practice understands that some patients have chronic pain. And this needs to be treated fairly and appropriately. We have systems and processes to identify patients who abuse the trust of GPs in procuring S8 Drugs and other drugs of dependence.

The doctors and nursing staff are fantastic with little kids. We have had amazing care that saw our newborn diagnosed with dehydration a week after birth that lead to on-the-stop care to hydrate and urgent referral to the hospital. We are forever grateful! From wonderful child friendly ways of assessment, treatment, vaccines, travel letters, we have always been treated with dignity and excellent care as a family.
