Preventative health care
At Fountain Street General Practice, the prevention and early detection of disease is of vital importance and a significant component of general practice care — particularly in relation to cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Our practice is committed to supporting preventative health care through comprehensive screening programs, smoking cessation and alcohol reduction support, proactive testing, and assisting patients to reduce health risks through positive lifestyle changes.
We also operate a recall and reminder system to help ensure our patients remain up to date with recommended tests, screenings, immunisations and treatments, including:
- Cervical screening
- Diabetes monitoring
- Asthma monitoring
- Skin checks
- Immunisations
- Heart health checks
- Breast screening
- Bowel screening
- Blood pressure monitoring
Our team encourages all patients to take an active role in their health and wellbeing by attending regular check-ups and discussing preventative care options with their doctor.
