Blink

by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in General Practice, Glenelg, New doctor, News, PartridgeGP

PartridgeGP is all about providing the best services and facilities to GPs, allied health professionals, and our staff, so we can serve our valued patients better. Anthony Prigent is not one of our patients but he has a story to tell as a patient, a survivor, and a man. He wrote a book…

Review
In the blink of an eye
Anthony Prigent





History is written by the winners, as the saying goes, but more accurately by the survivors. All of us have done things that could have gone bad. Sometimes there has been a near miss, as when I helped build a retaining wall and witnessed a truck tip rebar straight past a man’s head. Sometimes there has been an accident with no lasting harm. Some automotive adventures come to mind. Sadly, sometimes there is an accident and it doesn’t miss. There is no survivor and no learning. It is rare then to have an accident, for it not to miss, and for there to be a survivor. Rarer still for them to thrive and rarer again for them to learn and write a book. Such is history written and so do we learn everything can change in the blink of an eye.



Spoiler alert was a big phrase in 2019 when the only plagues were on the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Anthony has the big reveal pretty early on after setting the scene and anyone who has met him couldn’t fail to be aware of how things turned out. He had a workplace accident, a tragedy in the true sense of the word. You can see it coming but it’s no less shocking when it happens.



It’s a very Aussie, very personal book. There’s butcher talk, there’s beers, tears, strippers, and pool. Then travel, fights, music, and women. Then more travel, more beers, and more women. We get to know Anthony through the book as he finds himself and gets to where he is now. It’s not all beer and women, but you’ll need to read his book to fill in the blanks.



I enjoyed this book. Anthony’s a good genuine bloke and his voice shines through on every page. I look forward to hearing his musical talents and facing him over a beer and a pool table. In a year when many lost a bit and all of us needed some perspective, ‘In the Blink of an Eye’ has something to teach us all. Get it, get on it, read it, digest it, learn from it. As Charles Swindoll said, and Anthony Prigent lives, life is ten per cent what happens to us and ninety per cent how we react to it; we are in charge of our attitudes.

Read the book!

For everyone, we believe that having a usual GP or General Practice is central to each person’s care and recommend that people with any health issues that come to the attention of other health professionals should be advised to attend their usual GP or General Practice rather than a specialised service (ie a place not providing the holistic care a specialist GP would).   If  they say that they don’t have a usual GP or general practice, they should be helped to find one and to actually attend it. Call PartridgeGP on 82953200 or make an appointment online here.

Telefarce

by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in General Practice, Glenelg, New doctor, News, PartridgeGP

PartridgeGP has been providing safe services and facilities to our GPs, staff, allied health professionals and patients since the start of the pandemic. We led the way in using the phone – quick, easy, and effective – to achieve this. The Government eventually came to the party with some specific item numbers to rebate patients for the time spent with their specialist GPs. However, as the pandemic ramps up, and the Delta Variant causes lockdowns and restrictions nationwide, what does the government do?

Photo by Jhefferson Santos on Pexels.com

Yes, you are correct. They have changed ALL of the item numbers, rewarding shorter consults, reducing rebates, and preferring video – which patients and GPs have declared by their choices over the last year that they don’t want. Here is a short video explaining what they have done:

https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fscalemyclinic%2Fvideos%2F920813718765462%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0

They have developed a helpful 13 page document – of course there is no mention of the value of these rebates to the patient, and no explanatory notes to help GPs explain the insurers rules to patients – one day before these changes go live.

Farewell and Thank You to Dr Ciara Peddell from PartridgeGP

by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in Female, future, General Practice, Glenelg, GP, New doctor, News, PartridgeGP

It seems it was only yesterday that PartridgeGP was proud to welcome Dr Ciara Peddell to our team but it’s been 6 months (6 months!!!) and Dr Ciara’s partner is serving our country interstate. So it’s time to say farewell and thank you!

Remember, travel is back on… obviously

Dr Ciara Peddell completed her medical training at the University of Tasmania in 2014. Since then she has worked in hospitals and GP practices in Townsville and Brisbane. She completed the Diploma of Child Health in 2017 through the University of Sydney and received her RACGP fellowship in 2019. She will be a great addition to her new practice in Canberra.

All of our doctors here at PartridgeGP are fully qualified ‘Fellows’ (or are studying towards this ‘Registrars’) holding a specialist qualification with either the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) or the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM) or both (3-4 years of full time study and 3 exams on top of an undergraduate university medical degree and supervised trainee ‘intern’ year in a hospital). This is our minimum specialist standard and you can see more about what this involves here. Our Fellows provide supervision and advice to our Registrars.

We also supervise and teach Medical Students from Flinders University. They are still studying to become doctors. All of us – Fellows, Registrars, and Medical Students – make up the Clinical Team here at PartridgeGP with our excellent Practice Nurses. We all uphold the highest standards of privacy, confidentiality, professionalism, and clinical practice.

So, again, farewell and thank you – Dr Ciara you’ve been amazing! Check in Monday for news of our new doctors and additions to the PartridgeGP team…

Firstly, for everyone, we believe that having a usual GP or General Practice is central to each person’s care and recommend that people with any health issues that come to the attention of other health professionals should be advised to attend their usual GP or General Practice rather than a specialised service (ie a place not providing the holistic care a specialist GP would).   If  they say that they don’t have a usual GP or general practice, they should be helped to find one and to actually attend it.

Au Revoir Mrs Jen Riches and Net Psychology

by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in General Practice, Glenelg, GP, health, How to, Influence, Information, PartridgeGP, patient info, thoughtoftheday

PartridgeGP is heading into the new financial year with plenty of plans! We are absolutely committed to helping our patients, our community, and the doctors and allied health professionals we serve. We saw in 2020 that the only constant was change – and so it is in 2021. Firstly, we are saying au revoir to the awesome Mrs Jen Riches of Net Psychology, whose partner has been promoted interstate. We, and our patients, have really appreciated Jen’s care, professional skill, and great energy. We are sad to see her move on, but will watch her career with interest – she is still available online and you can contact her here for telehealth!

What did Jen have to say about her time at PartridgeGP?

“I’m Jen and I’m here to talk about working with PartridgeGP. I’ve worked with them for a few months now as a psychologist and they have provided me with a supportive and professional working environment to help me provide the best of care to my patients. The culture at PartridgeGP is just exceptional. I am excited to come to work each day and value the care that the PartridgeGP team provide me with. The GPs, allied health staff and administrative teams are all friendly and genuine. It is a great place to work. PartridgeGP is growing and would love more awesome providers so touch base with Dr Nick Tellis on 82953200 and say Jen sent you.”

Jen is a registered psychologist experienced in providing services to adolescents and adults. She has worked with individuals experiencing a range of life issues such as relationship and family breakdowns, bullying, unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, grief and loss, social isolation and legal issues. She works with people experiencing a range of complex mental health issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychosis. She has experience in providing psychology services to clients through secure online video conferencing and face to face. Aside from her private practice experience Jen has worked at Headspace, Lifeline, and MATES in Construction. Jen is passionate about providing professional, down to earth and practical psychology services. 

​

Jen draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Schema Therapy. Jen brings empathy, warmth and compassion to therapy and takes an individualised approach to each client. See and hear her here!

Jen may have moved to Darwin (remember her Telehealth services!) – we still have Monika Kolta and Mark Edwards here onsite for your Psychology needs!

All of this teamwork begins with having a usual GP or General Practice central to your care. We recommend people with any health issues that come to the attention of other health professionals should be advised to attend their usual GP or General Practice rather than a specialised service (ie a place not providing the holistic care a specialist GP would). If they say that they don’t have a usual GP or general practice, they should be helped to find one and to actually attend it. 

PartridgeGP works with you to help you make your best health decisions, and we won’t back away from being your companion, guide, advisor, and sounding board through your health journey. We pride ourselves on great communication and we’re ready to share our professional skills and knowledge with you. This is only MORE important now, in the time of a global pandemic with a new vaccine on the horizon.

Farewell Mrs Hayley Roberts!

by Dr Nick Tellis, posted in General Practice, Glenelg, GP, health, How to, Influence, Information, PartridgeGP, patient info, thoughtoftheday

They say all good things must come to an end, and so it is today, that we wave goodbye to our superstar Practice Manager Mrs Hayley Roberts!

Hayley has been with us since August 2017, and has seen us through accreditation, moving the practice to our new location, all of our new GPs, other doctors, nurses, staff, allied health professionals, and medical students. She has gone above and beyond and we are very grateful.

Always professional

Personally, Hayley has allowed me to balance co-owning a thriving General Practice with GP and family life. She has enabled Dr Nick Mouktaroudis and me to pursue our business and family aims over her time with us. We wish her well, she has been a champion for PartridgeGP and we are so happy for this next step in her stellar career!

So good luck Hayley, we will miss you greatly, from your professional management skills to your grace under pressure and your ever present listening ear. All the best, we will kick on with the fantastic team at PartridgeGP, we will move on to the next chapters in our stories!

PartridgeGP works with you to help you make your best health decisions. We like to think we have a little bit of magic in there and we haven’t discarded logic! We won’t back away from being your companion, guide, advisor, and sounding board through your health journey. We pride ourselves on great communication and we’re ready to share our professional skills and knowledge with you. This is only MORE important now with new vaccines here to END the pandemic. The way forward is clear: make your appointment with us conveniently online right here – or call our friendly reception team on 82953200.

Better, for you.

pf**er

There are two brands of vaccine available in Australia. The TGA (Therapeutic Goods Association) has advised GPs (the experts) not to mention brand names. ***BREAKING NEWS – common sense has prevailed!*** In the meantime, every man, woman, child, and organisation has been mentioning brand names morning, noon, and night. The vaccine now available in General Practice has a slightly increased risk of blood clotting issues in certain groups. This risk is small, and especially small when viewed next to the medical (and economic) effects of COVID. Apparently the government deems general practice important in vaccine rollout, and so they have an eight page pdf requesting expressions of interest for General Practices to roll out the other brand of vaccine, starting in October.

Their Plan:

wp-1622899637931.pdfDownload

Here’s my plan:

A crack group of GPs will identify the governments super secret vaccine storage repository
We will broadcast government messaging to the guards
That will ensure sleep
The place will be unlocked because no one in government adheres to their own probity or privacy standards (failing that I will just have a few drinks and get security to let me in to sleep it off)
Chuck the lot into refrigerated trucks
Then we have 31 days to distribute it
Everyone who wants one gets one

– are you over 16, show Medicare card
– any contraindications – HITS etc, anaphylaxis etc, previous dose etc
– are you or could you be pregnant
– if go, jab, observe 15 mins

There is a saying, ‘the fellow who sticks the fork in the socket should get the shock’. If there is no feedback, how will behaviour ever change? Speaking of feedback, we know as doctors and educators, that feedback should be timely – certainly as a parent, giving feedback on behaviour weeks after is useless and even counterproductive. Therefore I suggest the following:

If the Fair Work Act is not fit for purpose (and doesn’t allow employment changes/conditions during a pandemic), then it goes or gets suspended. Blaming low paid, predominantly ethnic and female aged care workers for Melbourne’s latest issues is not giving the shock to the forkers (so to speak).

If a private company and public servants can’t or won’t immunise our elders and those who care for them, then they too can fork off and be replaced by the professionals who should have been funded and supported to do the job properly in the first place – GPs.

As for lockdowns, can we stop the media porn of politicians and unelected health bureaucrats pontificating from upon high. It’s not a daily spam session. What are the criteria (cases/immunisation levels/other) that need to be satisfied to move on? 7 million Victorians deserve better than a daily episode of Big Brother.

There are only two ways we are moving forward: those who want to get vaccinated get vaccinated and/or those who do not vote accordingly. Transparent targets should be set (have an Ethereum smart contract with preset limits ‘if vaccination rate = x%, then borders = open’). Vaccination should be VOLUNTARY and the friction involved should be minimal. When is the dead hand of bureaucracy going to get off the tiller?

*If you want it, get vaccinated here*
