If you’re managing multiple health concerns, a chronic condition, or a new issue that’s been building for a while, a standard appointment may not give you the time you need.
A long consultation allows your GP to take a more comprehensive approach to your care. What can be covered in a long consult?
• Review of complex or ongoing conditions (e.g. diabetes, asthma, heart disease)
• Medication reviews and adjustments
• Mental health care planning
• Preventative health discussions and risk assessments
• Multiple symptoms or concerns in one appointment
• Care coordination with specialists or allied health providers
• Development or review of GP Management Plans
Longer appointments create space for thoughtful discussion, careful documentation, and clear next steps — especially when your health picture is more complex. If you’ve been putting off booking because you’re not sure everything will fit into one visit, it may be worth requesting a longer appointment when scheduling.
