I attended the Medical Centre at Jurien Bay suffering abdominal pain. The staff there were excellent and very caring. There are no GP's at the facility and consultations are managed via Telehealth links. I mainly dealt with the local nurse, Mandy, Who explained everything about how the centre operated and what facilities they had available. I know exactly what was going to happen and what to expect.
Mandy was very thorough with obtaining my vitals and observation checks with regards to my pain. These were sent through to an online GP who, via telelink, discussed her findings. The GP had Mandy run through additional tests while monitoring the procedures over the link.
It was identified that my abdominal pain was highly likely caused by a small ambilical hernia. Due to imaging equipment not being available it was recommended that If the pain persists for another 24 hours to attend the Emergency Dept in Geraldton (2.5hours north) and get an ultrasound done. This would ascertain the condition of the hernia and if necessary plan for further corrective action.
Overall I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and care the facility provided, both in person and online.
