How are you and the team doing?
We understand that practices are busy responding to COVID-19. We hope this guide may help you work more efficiently and effectively.
We aim to make this easier for you and make sure General Practices stay open to free up the local emergency department.
This will take another six months or more. It has permanently changed how general practice will operate in the future.
Since February, we have been extremely busy helping GP practices in the East Coast starting in Epping and West Ryde with a COVID-19 Response.
At the time, this had stretched our resources. The upside is we have now produced a free peer-reviewed self-assessment checklist and a practical troubleshooting guide for your Practice.
This initiative was featured in the national Medical Republic

Based on our 28 years of national experience and your input over the years, we have addressed the problem. This practical guide is for owners, staff and patients to reduce any immediate concerns.
The checklist is being updated daily due to rule changes.

Pathology labs are requesting a 50% rent reduction.
If you have one, do not agree to anything without talking to us first. You do not have to accept it. This could mean the financial end to your practice. Please check our new guide below on what to do next.
Many practices are concerned with their future viability and what to do next. Especially those practices that have experienced a 20% to 30% drop in revenue. This can be fixed.

We are doing fine - we can help you in many ways if you need it
Three weeks ago, our staff transitioned to working from home remotely and seamlessly. Practices should not experience any disruption to services.
You can DIY, or we can provide Practice Assistance at your request. We will provide a high priority complimentary orientation session if you have any questions for the first 50 practices that contact us.
The key to overcoming this crisis is to have a trusted evidence-based clinical and non-clinical structured step by step personal and practice plan without reinventing the wheel and not being overwhelmed.
This will be the new normal for general practice - a bigger move to the cloud starting with Telehealth services is a silver lining if you do it properly.
