GENERAL HEALTH CHECKS

At Westridge Medical our top priority as General Practitioners is too look after your general health and well-being. Our aim is to identify health concerns and risk factors and discuss appropriate screening, monitoring or management. This is why it is important to see your GP for regular health checks even when you don’t have any specific health concerns. We can monitor for any changes through a thorough physical examination and investigation along with any tests needed.

Some patients may be eligible for a Medicare-funded health assessment based on their age, health risks or individual circumstances. Eligibility and any applicable fees should be confirmed with reception when booking. Please check with reception upon booking if you are eligible. If you have any specific health concerns, it may be best to book a separate appointment for this.

Regardless of your fitness level, age or gender – regular health check ups are important for everyone. Health checks may help identify certain health concerns or risk factors earlier. The checks recommended will depend on your age, health history, symptoms and individual circumstances.

Try to see the same doctor for your health check ups, so that you can build a trusted relationship with him or her. This also enables the Doctor to provide you with more comprehensive assessments at your check ups.
