GP Respiratory Clinics (GPRCs) at Fairfield, Campbelltown, Picton and Mittagong are conducting asymptomatic COVID-19 testing on patients who have been directed by public health authorities to get tested.
Asymptomatic testing at GPRCs will take place until Monday, 30 August 2021 and will be reviewed before this date.
Any appropriate patients should attend via a HotDoc booking.
Please note, this allowance is not intended to provide generalised asymptomatic testing. This should also not displace access for people with symptoms.
In anticipation of increased testing loads at GPRCs, it is critical that while meeting demand GPRCs are still able to maintain the required separation between their vaccine facilities/sessions and testing facilities/sessions.
Any logistical concerns over the ability to meet these requirements can be raised as a matter of priority with Aspen Medical via email at RCInfo@aspenmedical.com.
The continuation of vaccine delivery is paramount, but GPRCs are free to use clinical judgement to modify the model of operation for their clinics (extended hours, change of hours, different session times, additional days etc) to meet demand and to assist with separating your vaccine and testing facilities/sessions.
Please make the GP Respiratory Clinic Team aware of any changes made to operating models via email at gprc@health.gov.au and update those details on HotDoc.
Any concerns with PPE can be raised through SWSPHN’s COVID-19 Response Team via email at covid19@swsphn.com.au
