Care centre opens officially

THE St John of God Primary Care Centre at St John of God Health Care Subiaco has opened officially.

The centre comprises a group of health providers including SportsMed Subiaco, GP After Hours, St John of God Physiotherapy and the St John of God Health Assessment Service.

The centre offers care without need for a referral, allowing easier access to expert attention, advice and facilities.

GP After Hours provides after hours consultation with a local general practitioner. There are more than 40 local GPs involved in GP After Hours Subiaco.

GP After Hours GP manager Cathy Horton said there had been a gap in the provision of general practice care after hours for too long.

The new Regeneration Exercise Centre encompasses a gym and hydrotherapy pool.

The Primary Care Centre opening is the last stage in the rollout of the Subiaco Clinic, bringing to completion nine years of planning and construction.
