Accreditation

Our practices are accredited with Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL).
Accreditation is voluntary however our practice views it as portraying a message of “quality in practice” and a commitment to continuing improvement in Australian General Practice.
Both practices have a strong teaching focus and we have two or three general practice registrars with us each year. There is also an intern rotating every 10 weeks from the Lyall McEwin Hospital on placement with us.
This scheme has been an enormous success, and favourably viewed by patients, interns and the practice alike. The interns practice under close supervision of practice doctors, and are involved in all aspects of practice work both general practice and hospital based.
Three Flinders University Medical Students are placed with the practice for their entire third year (of a four year postgraduate course) under the MD Rural Stream (MDRS). This is a well established program that is already operating in three other regions of South Australia. Three students are allocated to our practice for 12 months, and would also be immersed in the clinical life of the practice for the duration.

Doctors

Our doctors are supported by professional and experienced administrative staff and equipment at all times in each location. Currently we have a practice manager, an office manager, twelve receptionists in addition to the ten practice nurses and two mental health nurses. Two of our doctors are obstetricians and deliver babies at the local Kapunda Hospital, another two doctors are anaesthetists and do anaesthetics at the local Kapunda Hosptial for visiting specialists.

Appointments

Appointments can be made in advance by phone or in person. Please notify the receptionist if the appointment is urgent or if a longer appointment is required. Normally appointments are made at 15 minute intervals however
it is necessary to take into account that unexpected emergencies may affect your waiting times.
