Welcome to Ovens Medical Group

COVID-19 - Update

The Ovens Medical Group is taking a proactive approach in rapidly responding to the Covid 19 pandemic, in order to protect our staff and patients and continue to provide the best primary medical care possible.

All staff are strictly following the recommended personal hygiene and social distancing measures. Doctors and nurses are all wearing surgical scrubs and masks.

If you do have symptoms of a respiratory infection (cough, sore throat, run nose, breathlessness or fever), please always ring the clinic first for advice. Each day one doctor is dedicated to seeing patients with acute respiratory illness. This doctor will see you in a dedicated room at the rear of the clinic and the doctor will be wearing full personal protective equipment (face shield, mask, gown and gloves).

We are minimising the use of our waiting room and are doing some consultations via Telehealth.

More information about our Telehealth service.

When you do come in for an appointment our staff will first check if you have any symptoms of a respiratory infection. Our staff will ask you to wait in your car or outside the clinic and our reception staff will ring you to come in when the doctor is ready to see you. We ask all patients to sanitise their hands on entry and observe social distancing regulations.

If you need a prescription without a face to face consultation, where possible we will send it to your local pharmacy. A fee may be charged for repeat prescriptions.
