Benefits of a Recurring Consult Window

3 October 2019 · Kesley Kernes

A recurring consult window lets a medical centre access specialist dermatology at a frequency that matches its patient demand: a set time each month, fortnight or week when the practice's consultation room, its staff and our Dermatologist are all booked to line up.

Our coordinators handle the scheduling across time zones, so the practice simply chooses the window that suits its resources.

For patients

  • Booked into a specialist consultation on the spot, at the end of an appointment with their own trusted GP
  • Follow-up care with the same Dermatologist
  • A simple, familiar place to attend: their own medical centre

For the medical centre

  • Simple, predictable scheduling and room preparation
  • Flexible allocation of practice resources
  • A consistent Dermatologist, so the practice team builds a real working relationship with the specialist

Getting started

Establishing a window is free, and it scales. Practices often start with a two-hour window each month and move to weekly slots as demand grows. Initial consultations take up to 30 minutes and follow-ups up to 20, so a practice can plan exactly how many patients fit each window.

Reception staff simply note the appointment details on the referral and send it with the patient's consent documentation by email, or fax to 02 4960 8288. To set up a window, call the coordinator team on 02 4960 8277.

Book your consultation

Prepayment is required at booking. You'll need a referral for a Medicare rebate, but you can book without one.
