Health & Wellbeing North Ward has been established in July 2007 when the Moriscos’ took over the well known, 30 years old, North Ward Medical Practice.
It is situated within BMD House in Mitchell Street, adjacent to PhysioNorth, in North Ward.
After a complete redesign the practice is now fully-computerised, complete with all instrumentation and equipment and more, and it presents itself as a youthful and happy place where people of any ages and of any background feel comfortable to attend.
Entrance to the practice at dawn
As a medical practice we have a commitment to providing quality care, and as a result we are constantly reviewing our performance in different areas and may be involved in teaching activities (and research). This has advantages of keeping us on our toes and up to date, while also providing training for the next generation of health professionals.
We normally see clients only by appointments. We aspire to limit waiting time to 15 minutes but on some days there may be delays and you will be asked to be a patient ‘patient’….!
On most visits you will see a Nurse before seing the Doctor. The Nurse will take your blood pressure, sugar, weight and height and may suggest setting up special programs like careplans or assessments that may be recommended for people of your same age/sex.
Careplans and Assessments are services available to you through Medicare and are normally bulkbilled.
There is a $30.00 fee for non attendance to appointments. Please call well in advance when you know you cannot make an appointment.
Although there are different prices for different services, clients on a pension should not expect to pay more than $ 15.00 as out-of-pocket expense for a Doctor’s consultation.
