Chronic disease (such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, asthma and arthritis) accounts for around 80% of the total burden of illness in Australia.

Chronic illnesses can compromise quality of life and lead to a gradual deterioration of health. An option for patients with chronic disease is preparation of a Care Plan. 

Care Plans drawn up by Airport General Practice doctors typically include a detailed overview of the patient's health history and treatment; and identify treatment objectives and methods, patient self-care options and the identity of other health professionals involved in their care. These health summaries can be retained by the patient for presentation at hospital or to other health professionals.

Special interests of AGP doctors include: women's health, dermatology, minor and cosmetic surgery and travel medicine.

Last weekday appointment is at 5:00pm.
