Once you agree to a CDM plan, your nurse and doctor will work together to prepare it. This may include medication support, assistance with appointments and guidance for managing your condition.

Patients with long-term or complex health needs may be eligible for a care plan.

Iron is an essential nutrient, in which your body relies on to make haemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. These red blood cells assist in transporting oxygen from your lungs, to the cells throughout your body via the bloodstream. When your body is iron deficient, your cells receive less oxygen, which can impact on your energy levels, concentration, immune system and mental state.

Iron deficiency is sometimes resolved through dietary changes or oral supplements, however, in some cases your doctor may decide that an iron infusion is required as it is more immediate in its effect, and also eliminates any problems with absorption by delivering the iron directly into the blood via an intravenous (IV) infusion.

Even though many heart attacks and strokes can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle,heart disease still remains the leading cause of death in Australia. Since you can’t often feel the risk factors, like high blood pressure and cholesterol, mostpeople don’t often know their risk of developing heart disease.

A 20-minute Heart Health Check with your GP will help you understand your risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years, and work with you on a plan to decrease that risk. This may involve discussing ways to make heart-healthy changes to your lifestyle, sending referrals to programs or other health professionals for more support or further testing, or prescribing blood pressure or cholesterol lowering medications.

All people aged 45–79 years without known heart disease, people with diabetes aged 35-79 years, and First Nations people aged 30–79 years should all have, and are eligible for a Heart Health Check bulk billed by Medicare. Having a Heart Health Check is an important first step to protecting your heart. Talk to your GP about a Heart Health Check today.

Insertion – The appointment is booked for around 30 minutes, with the actual insertion generally taking 5 to 10 minutes.

Follow-up – A review appointment is recommended approximately six weeks after insertion.
