In times of social distancing it's important to keep all your regular GP appointments


Dr Siegfried Perez explains why it is important to continue with your regular GP appointments particularly if you are suffering from chronic diseases such as asthma, hypertension and diabetes  


  • Most GP consultations are done via telehealth and bulk-billed
  • After initial consultation your GP will decide if you require  face to face consultation
  • To avoid health complications make sure your  condition is monitored by your GP

'While visits to the ER have greatly reduced, there has been an increase in ER visits from accidents caused by DIY projects at home' says Siegfried Perez
