Tag: Eastbound Medical Clinic

Sunday, 12 May, was International Nurses Day.

This year’s theme, ‘Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care’, recognises the invaluable role that nurses play in supporting both patients and vital health initiatives worldwide, while reminding us of the ongoing need to actively invest in nursing in order to improve health outcomes.

This International Nurses Day, Eastbound Medical Clinic took a moment to honour our passionate and exceptionally talented nurses, acknowledging that their empathy, skills, and support form the cornerstone of effective patient care. Together, we handed out some bouquets and enjoyed a marble cheesecake with nurses Bisa, Melissa, and Isabel, pictured below.

We extend our warmest gratitude to all of our dedicated nurses. Thank you for all that you do. We couldn’t do it without you, and we’ll shout it from the rooftops.

Patient Feedback – You Asked, We Listened

We’re committed to constantly reviewing processes and patient feedback, with emphasis on adapting our services and operations to better cater to your needs. 

In our latest Practice Accreditation and Improvement Survey, you asked us to:

  • Expand access to after-hours appointments
  • Provide better access to the doctor of your choice
  • Improve, simplify, and diversify booking processes
  • Offer more telehealth appointments 

In line with this feedback, we’ve:

  • Added a fourth evening by extending Thursday consult hours to 8pm
  • Asked all doctors to work an evening shift and onboarded two new doctors to increase capacity
  • Added a booking ChatBot to our website and enlisted Jenny, our off-shore receptionist, to assist with phone bookings
  • Ensured that all GPs offer telehealth and video consults

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey, helping us to prioritise community needs.

Welcome to Eastbound’s New, Cosy Kids’ Corner

Eastbound’s Christmas renovations have gifted us with a new, colourful, and cosy kids’ corner, enhancing waiting experiences for young families. 

Tucked into a private alcove of the waiting room and abundantly stocked with toys, books, and puzzles, the kids’ corner is the ideal place to rest, play, or explore before your appointment at Eastbound Medical Clinic.  

We think the room is looking pretty inviting, but it could always use a couple of extra smiling faces, so be sure to check it out and join in on the fun during your next visit!

Painting Eastbound Red for REDFEB and Valentine’s Day

REDFEB is all about raising awareness of, and money for, the leading cause of death in Australia: heart disease.

Throughout February, Heart Research Australia invites Australians to show their support by wearing red for the people close to their hearts and by donating to support life-saving research.

At Eastbound Medical Clinic, the staff and consulting GPs participated by hosting a Valentine’s Day lunch. We seized the opportunity to paint the clinic red, flaunt our vibrant outfits, and raise much-needed funds for heart research. Collectively, we raised $145.00, while using social media to draw attention to both the impact of heart disease and the importance of heart health and heart check-ups.

This February, we wore red for our community. Who did you wear red for?
