BetterConsult is here 

We're excited to announce that the doctors at our practice now use BetterConsult to help you get the most out of your appointment.

BetterConsult is a pre-consultation questionnaire that asks the questions your doctor usually asks about the reason for your visit. It then prepares a summary for your doctor.

What does this mean for you?   

By knowing this information at the start of your appointment, your doctor can spend more of your time focussed on addressing your healthcare needs.

Filling out the questionaire prior to your appointment also helps you think through what you would like to address with your doctor.

How does it work?

Simply follow the instructions to complete the  pre-consultation questionnaire.

If you don't want to complete the questionnaire or you don't have time, please just attend your appointment as usual.  If you want to opt out and not receive the questionnaire please let us know.


BetterConsult protects your medical information

With BetterConsult your medical information is private, confidential and totally secure, to meet and exceed Australian data privacy legislation.
