Chronic Disease Management
At Cape Naturaliste Medical Centre our doctors are passionate about patient centred health care – working with patients to identify problems early, then creating individualised plans founded on patient education and empowerment through a collaborative approach.
Where complex conditions exist, we draw upon our highly skilled nurses and practice-based technology to integrate your care across other specialists and allied health staff.
Chronic diseases includes asthma, diabetes, heart disease, chronic kidney disease and osteoporosis.
Patients with chronic diseases are eligible for a GP Management Plan each year. Where appropriate, Team Care Arrangements can be organised providing up to 5 Medicare subsidised referrals to allied healthcare providers per year.
