For most repeat prescriptions you will need to make an appointment to see your regular doctor to discuss your needs. By making an appointment for prescriptions, your doctor is better able to care for you, answer any questions you may have, and inform you of any risks or concerns associated with your particular medication. Should you have questions please contact the practice (08) 6278 2555

Repeat prescriptions for regular patients may be ordered via telephone, at the discretion of the GP.

At Lockridge Medical Centre test results will be delivered to you by your regular doctor. This is to ensure that you have all necessary information for your health and well-being.

We advise all patients to book an appointment to discuss results at the time of their appointment. However, our procedures for the recall of results are as follows:

Urgent Results: A staff member will contact you by phone to advise you to make an appointment to see the doctor. If there is no answer after 3 attempts, a letter will be sent to you, advising an urgent appointment is necessary. Our staff may continue to contact you at the doctor’s discretion and urgency of your results.

Non-Urgent Results: A staff member will contact you by phone to advise you to make an appointment to see the doctor. If there is no answer after 3 attempts, a letter will be sent to you, advising an appointment is needed. Our staff may continue to contact you at the doctor’s discretion.

If your results are normal, we do not contact you to advise you of this. You can phone the surgery to check if your results have been received, and may make an appointment to discuss the results, even if they are normal. We do not give results over the phone due to patient confidentiality.

It is important for us to know what you think and how you feel about the service we deliver. If you are unhappy with any aspect of the care you receive please tell us. You can either speak to your doctor, our management team or leave your assessment in the suggestion box located in the waiting room.

  • Workers compensation

Helping an injured worker return to work is a team effort. Health providers play a vital role in facilitating an injured worker’s return to work. The workers’ compensation and injury management scheme relies on health providers, employers and insurers working together to achieve the best outcome for the injured worker.

A treating doctor has a clear role in the injury management process, which includes:

  • Diagnosis, primary care and coordination of medical treatment
  • Establishing, in their opinion, whether the diagnosis does/does not correlate with the injury as described by the patient
  • Reviewing the injured worker’s medical condition
  • Liaising with the employer or employer’s representative to facilitate an injured worker’s maintenance in or return to work
  • Referring for workplace rehabilitation assistance where required
  • Reporting specified industrial diseases to WorkSafe within 14 days of the first consultation with the injured workerFor further information consult WorkCover website at www.workcover.wa.gov.au
