PATIENT RESOURCES IN GEELONG
Our Patient Resources
At Geelong City Medical Clinic, we are fully committed to improving the health and wellness of all our patients. Take a look through our provided patient resources that can help you get the most out of your next visit with our team.
Tips for Safety
Though we do our best to provide the best results for your health, the biggest responsibility is on you to be involved in your own care and wellness. You can be active in decisions regarding your health through:
- Asking questions and collecting information about your treatment or condition until you understand completely
- Ensuring that you are getting the results for tests or investigations, and asking questions about them
- Keep a list of your current and past medications that you have taken for every visit to your care practitioner
Tips for Work Safety
We care about the safety of our patients, but it's a fact of life that accidents happen — many of them at the workplace. To help, we want to offer a list of safety and awareness tips to help reduce risks for a safer and healthier workplace.
Avoid unnecessary strain on your body
Find furniture and tools that reduce stress on your body from stooping or twisting.
Reduce workplace stress
Long hours, job insecurity and conflicts with your coworkers can have a huge impact on your health.
Have regularly scheduled breaks
Giving your body time to rest can help to reduce risks that come from fatigue and lack of concentration.
Wear protective equipment
Keeping your body protected in certain hazardous environments can help to reduce bodily injury
Know your rights
Research certain work organisations that are geared toward protecting workers through improved safety and treatment
