Expert Healthcare for You & Your Family
When you find a GP who knows you and your family, healthcare can feel a little easier.
Family medicine focuses on building an ongoing relationship with your doctor, rather than only treating individual illnesses as they arise. By getting to know your health history, lifestyle and changing needs, your GP can provide more personalised care over time.
At Skin & Medical Northbridge, our GPs care for patients of different ages and stages of life, from young children and teenagers through to adults and senior family members. Whether someone in your family is unwell, needs a routine check-up or requires ongoing support, we are here to help.
What is Family Medicine?
Family medicine is about looking after your health over the long term.
While you can visit your GP for a cough, infection, injury or other immediate concern, family medicine also considers the bigger picture. Seeing the same practice over time allows your doctor to become familiar with your health history, previous treatments, medications and any health conditions that may run in your family.
Our family GP clinic can help with:
- Everyday illnesses and injuries
- Regular health checks
- Children’s and adolescent health
- Women’s and men’s health
- Vaccinations
- Mental health and emotional wellbeing
- Ongoing health conditions
- Prescriptions and medication reviews
- Preventive health and screening
- Referrals to specialists and other health professionals
If you or a family member has noticed a change, feels unwell or simply needs some reassurance, speaking to a family GP at Skin & Medical Northbridge is a good place to start.
Family Healthcare for Every Stage of Life
As your health needs change throughout life, having a regular GP can provide some consistency along the way. That is why we strive to offer trusted health services that extend beyond our clinic. We collaborate with a network of trusted general practitioners, specialists, allied health professionals, and pharmacies to provide optimal patient care for:
Parents often have questions about their child’s health and development. Our GPs can help with common childhood illnesses, vaccinations, health checks and concerns about growth, development or behaviour.
If something does not seem quite right, you are welcome to make an appointment and talk it through.
The teenage and young adult years can bring new physical and emotional health concerns.
Our GPs provide a private and respectful environment where younger patients can discuss their health, including mental wellbeing, sexual health, skin concerns, vaccinations and other issues that may be difficult to raise elsewhere.
Between work, family and everyday responsibilities, it can be easy to put your own health further down the list. At Skin & Medical Northbridge, our comprehensive family GP services include a range of women’s and men’s health services.
Your GP can help you stay on top of everything from routine check-ups and skin cancer checks to travel vaccinations, while also providing support when new symptoms or health concerns arise.
As you get older, healthcare can involve more regular check-ups, medications and different healthcare providers. For those living with a chronic health condition, we provide ongoing support and long-term management.
Having a GP who understands your health history can make it easier to manage these changes and coordinate your care when other specialists or health professionals are involved.
