Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils. If you have tonsillitis, your tonsils will be swollen and sore. It’s most common in children but anyone can have it.What causes tonsillitisThe tonsils are glands at both sides of the back of your throat that help protect you against infection. Tonsillitis is usually caused by a virus, or occasionally by bacteria, and often follows a cold.
You can’t be immunised against tonsillitis so you can’t prevent it, although good hygiene can help. You can have it more than once.
Symptoms of tonsillitis
People with tonsillitis often feel unwell and they may have:
a sore throat,red, swollen and painful tonsils, sometimes with white patches or pus,fever,difficulty or pain on swallowing,headache

Why is a referral needed?
A referral is necessary to make sure Medicare Benefits are paid at specialist or consultant referred rates, rather than at unreferred rates. In other words, patients do not need a referral to see a specialist, but they do need one to attract the relevant Medicare rebate.
What must be in a referral?
The Health Insurance Regulations state that a practitioner must ‘consider the need for the referral’, and then must provide the specialist any information about the patient’s condition that the referring practitioner considers necessary. The referral must be given in writing, dated, and signed by the referring practitioner, unless in an emergency.
Notably, however, although the regulations make note of referrals being addressed to a “specialist or consultant physician”, the legislation does not specify whether the referral must identify by name the recipient of the referral.
In the absence of this information, it is generally understood that this is not a Medicare requirement. So although it is accepted and desirable medical practice to refer to a named specialist where possible, it is not a current legal requirement.Our specialised GP at the AMPM DOCTORS HIGH ROAD clinic provides specialist referrals fast ,quick and easy and has appointments available 📞9️⃣4️⃣5️⃣7️⃣9️⃣0️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ for a bulk billed appointment.Monday to Saturday.

Notifications of confirmed influenza have been much higher so far this year compared to the same period last year. So now is a very good time to think about getting a flu shot.

Vaccination is your best chance for protection against the flu, and it helps protect the people around you who are not able to have a flu shot (such as babies aged less than 6 months).

Strains of the flu change constantly, which is why we need a new vaccine every year to guard against this often-debilitating illness.

What is Vi**ra?
Vi**ra is a medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.
It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in the p***s, allowing blood to flow into the p***s causing an er****on. If you plan to use Vi**ra, you should take it an hour before planned sexual activity.
An er****on is possible for up to 4 hours after taking it (this means the ability to have an er****on may last this long, but the actual er****ons will only last a normal period of time).It doesn’t cause er****ons on its own — sexual stimulation is still needed. Vi**ra does not cure ED, increase a man’s sexual desire, protect from sexually transmitted diseases or serve as a male form of birth control.If you use Vi**ra, you should not take any more than one tablet in 24 hours and it should not be taken with other ED medicines.Need help?Our GP at the AMPM clinic can help you 📞9️⃣4️⃣5️⃣7️⃣9️⃣0️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ for an appointment

45-49 year old health checks
As we get older, many of us become more vulnerable to illness. To reduce this, we would like to invite you to make an appointment to come into the Golden Beach Medical Centre for a health check. The federal government has recently introduced a new health check. It is for everyone aged between 45 and 49 who may be at risk of developing a health complaint, like diabetes or heart problems.
The aim of the health check is to help find, prevent or lessen the effect of disease. After all, it is better to avoid disease than treat it. This health check will give us the opportunity to look at your lifestyle and medical/family history to find out if you are at risk.The health check involves:Updating your medical history and looking at your health issues.Doing tests (such as blood pressure tests), if required.Follow up of any problems identified
Advice and information, for example on how to make lifestyle changes to improve your health.At the AMPM DOCTORS we have a specialised GP that concentrates on 45 to 49 years old Health Check.We provide bulk billing for our patients.📞9️⃣4️⃣5️⃣7️⃣9️⃣0️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ for an appointment. #45 #49

What is a home medicines review (HMR)?As a carer, you are responsible for making sure the person you care for gets the right medicines at the right time. Many people in care need a lot of different medicines, and it can be confusing to manage them all correctly.
A home medicines review (HMR) will help the person you care for get the most out of their medicines. An HMR is different from a medication review by a GP or hospital. Doctors make sure the person is receiving the right medicines for their condition. An HMR also makes sure the person is taking those medicines correctly.
First the person you care for will need a referral from your GP to your local pharmacist or a private pharmacist of your choice. They will not need to pay for the home medicines review, but the person you care for may need to pay to see the GP unless they bulk bill.At the AMPM DOCTORS HIGH ROAD we have a specialised GP that concentrates on Home Medicine Reviews and we Bulk Bill.📞9️⃣4️⃣5️⃣7️⃣9️⃣0️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ for an appointment.
