Proverbs Family Medical Practice endeavours to provide continuity of care, even in the after hours setting, but sometimes a home visit for a sick child or a question about a medication is best done on the spot.

13SICK provides urgent medical care for patients in the after-hours period. They are not for medical emergencies. If symptoms are critical or life-threatening, call triple zero (000) for an ambulance or go to hospital immediately.

Urgent care might include treatment for illnesses such as; gastro, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, migraines, ear infections, fevers or injuries from falls that are not serious.

If the condition is not life-threatening and requires urgent medical attention before your regular GP is open our doctors may attend. Further information is available on their website: www.13sick.com.au
