ATTENTION DR WOJTEK'S PATIENTS:
From Monday 4th November, Dr Wojtek will no longer be taking open clinic appointments.
He will be available by appointment only until further notice.
If his appointments are fully booked, our staff will still make allowances to ensure patients with urgent medical matters and emergencies are still attended to on the day.
Our clinic is now extremely busy, leading to days where our doctors are fully booked, however our staff make allowances to ensure patient's with urgent medical matters and emergencies are still attended to.
On these days we can not adfit patients with non urgent issues (eg: check ups, travel vaccinations and medical assessments). These patient's will be offered the next available appointment with their doctor.
A situation that is not medically severe or life threatening is not an urgent matter.
Our staff are trained to triage patients and these adfit appointments are allocated at the clinic's discretion not the patient's.
If a patient phones the clinic with a medical emergency (eg: chest pain, severe breathing problems), our staff will offer to contact an ambulance and triage the patient to the Royal Hobart Hospital, as is the proper protocol.
If we can not offer you an appointment on the day, you may attend The After Hours Doctor at 252 Main Road Derwent Park after 6pm any weekday or after 12pm on weekends.
This is a policy of our clinic and we endeavor to accommodate all of our patients.
Any patient who refuses to adhere to the clinic's policies or shows disrespect to our staff will be asked to transfer their care to another clinic.

Hepatitis A Vaccine for at risk groups | Public Health
Free hepatitis A vaccine is currently available for Tasmanians who are at increased risk of getting the disease in Australia.
Every year, too many Tasmanians suffer unnecessary and often severe burns during the colder months – especially children between 13 and 24 months old.
Burns injuries can require scar management follow up for many years and further surgical scar revision.
Prevention is always better than cure, and by educating yourself and your loved ones you can help prevent burns.
