Insurance Medicals are an integral part of our general practice work. They are more often requested by an insurance provider before they will provide cover for you.
In most cases we will need to carry out some form of medical checks and provide some level of health information, with your permission.
Of you are needing a check up for insurance
Blood test services (phlebotomy) are available Monday to Friday with our nurses. Most results are available within a few days, but for anything urgent your doctor will request a faster response and contact you if required.
If you are needing a blood test or asked to get one
Diabetes is a serious condition, where the level of glucose in the blood is too high. There are two types, because of either lack of insulin (type 1) or increased insulin resistance (type 2), and all can have serious implications for your health.
Where to start?
