Medical Clinic

Heywood Rural Health’s accredited Medical Clinic is a well-established and well-equipped practice.  The medical clinic is supported by practice nurses who provide services such as wound management, care planning, pap smears, together with a wide range of support to the doctors.

Medical services are integrated with Nursing Services, Allied Health Services (Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Dietitians, Diabetes Educators and Allied Health Assistants).  This bulk billing practice also contains three consulting rooms and a Community Health Hub Model to enhance community health and well-being.

The Community Health Hub Model aims to promote prevention and early detection, improve patient experience, and keep people in their homes longer.  In 2016 Heywood Rural Health received the Victorian Healthcare Association Award for Workforce Innovation in recognition of this unique and innovative approach to increase health service efficiently and effectiveness.
