NEW AFTER HOURS SERVICE CHANGES

From the 1st March 2024, the Hamilton Medical Group will unfortunately cease to run the 10.00am - 11.00am clinic on Sunday mornings and Public Holidays.

 

This is due to the critical rural GP workforce shortage which plagues rural towns like Hamilton and its surrounding districts. The change is unfortunately necessary to try and maintain a sustainable workload and avoid burnout, so that we can continue to provide essential medical care to all our patients.

 

We will continue to provide a Saturday morning walk in clinic from 9.00am - 12.00pm. Urgent care at any hour should be directed to the Emergency Department at WDHS.

 

Recruiting professionals to rural areas to work and stay has been especially challenging in recent years, despite our continuous recruitment efforts. Our priority is to ensure our community's medical needs are met by providing high quality primary health care. If you know of a GP who might be interested to work at the Hamilton Medical Group, please get in touch with our management team.
