Are your expectations of your general practice high enough?
Here’s what I’ve learnt from talking to the most innovative, caring and compassionate practice owners and leaders around the world:
General practices are an amazing powerhouse for not only providing you compassionate, comprehensive and personalised health care when you visit,
But ALSO
Providing proactive outreach care that is targeted at keeping you well even when you’re not physically at the practice.
At Rosedale Medical Practice West Pennant Hills, it’s an approach we call “Care Outside the Box”, and something we strive to deliver on each and every day
Hint: We have a long way to go, and we aim to get even better at getting better.
Here’s what we think great care should look like:
“…care that warms your heart as soon as you enter,
AND
extends well beyond the four walls of our practice.”
What is YOUR practice doing for you?
Is it time to raise the bar?
Will you demand better for you and your family?
…..
Tips:
✅ A great relationship with your general practice is a wise investment in your health, as well as the health of your family
✅ GPs can help you with a broad range of health concerns, including your physical, mental and emotional health
✅ A great way to plan your first consult is to ask for a general health check

We had the pleasure of welcoming Primary Care Nurse Consultant Jane Bollen and GP Dr Chris Bollen to teach at our practice yesterday.
Jane and Dr Chris have a special interest in the care of older people, and taught us about healthy ageing, with a specific focus on identifying, preventing and managing frailty in our day to day practice.
Jane previously worked at Allenby Gardens Family Practice in Adelaide running a nurse led (team-based care) “Healthy Ageing Clinic”.
We learnt many valuable lessons that will form part of our quality improvement initiatives as a practice, and that will help us in achieving our objective of “keeping older Australians independent and safe in their own homes”.
