Over the past year and a half, Atticus Health nurses have been on the frontline of the COVID-19 response in our clinics, aged care facilities and workplaces, providing quality, professional care under extraordinary conditions. In recognition of this vital contribution our nurses make to the care of our patients, we have expanded our nursing team significantly in recent months.
Our general practice nurses play a critical role in delivering continuity of care to all of our patients across our ten clinics. They are a key part of the day-to-day procedures and immunisations in clinic and also support our doctors and patients in many other ways, including;
- Risk identification, screening and triage
- Implementing and overseeing quality and infection control measures
- Coordinating flu clinics to ensure safety of staff and patients
- Care planning and chronic disease management with GPs, including telehealth
- Health checks
- Identifying and contacting at-risk patients, to ensure ongoing routine care
- Staff education and support
In recognition of their fantastic work in such unprecedented times, we’re inviting the Atticus community to thank our nurses by sending them messages of appreciation and support.
Show your support for nurses on our Atticus Health Facebook social media page.
