Werribee’s top spot for healthcare W
ith a team of 13 doctors who, between them, speak 10 different languages, Hoppers Lane General Practice is exceptionally well resourced to meet healthcare needs of its community, says practice manager Laura Robinson. “Along with our male and female GPs, we have a seven-strong nursing team,” she says. “Their additional attendance on weekends is invaluable. And we provide services not found at all clinics, such as aviation medicals from Dr Amir Farham, shared maternity care and pre-employment screening.” The clinic has the full range of travel vaccines, including yellow fever, and a bulk-billed skin check service to screen moles and lesions. “At the moment we’re encouraging patients to take advantage of the new flu vaccine, Quadrivalent, which has two influenza A and two influenza B strains,” Laura says. “At just $10, the shots are good for children and adults, parents and grandparents, healthcare and childcare workers, teachers and students, and pregnant women. “We offer the best-value vasectomies, with an out-of-pocket cost of $435, performed by trained and skilled surgeons in a facility with up-to-date equipment. “This no-scalpel technique allows a man to be back at work the next day.” Tailored to a company’s requirements, the clinic’s pre-employment medicals cover task analysis, functional assessment, drug and alcohol testing, hearing and lung

function screening and confined spaces testing. “Shared maternity care is a brilliant option for pregnant patients,” Laura says. “It’s a model of care in which a woman is cared for by one of our GPs throughout her
pregnancy and beyond, with our doctors liaising with any specialists and subsequent hospital carers.” Extended weekday opening hours are proving very popular, and extensive parking at front and rear of the building is ßhandy.
