Chronic Disease Management
Our Better Health programs include specialised clinics to improve patients' health with existing or potential chronic health issues.
Patients are encouraged to discuss their ongoing health management and concerns with their doctor or nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners play a vital role in case management, focusing on symptom management—primarily pain relief—and providing emotional support while collaborating with other healthcare providers.
None of us can predict the future or what may happen to our health. In a crisis, your family may struggle to decide on the best treatment options for you.
We provide a link to help prepare an Advance Care Directive, ensuring that your wishes are clearly documented, to assist your family and healthcare providers in understanding your preferences when you cannot communicate.
