Special Patient Reports
Family Care Medical Services provides a service for subscribing GP's to provide additional information on some patients who may require specific after hours attention. This information is recorded on our system as 'Special Patient' files, which is in turn provided to the afterhours doctor prior to the consultation.
Special patients generally fall into one of three broad categories:
1. Palliative Care Patients - Principal GP's advise of patients who are expected to pass away and/or have specific pain management regimes they would like followed in the event that an after hours doctor needs to attend. In the event of a death, the regular GP will be contacted prior to attendance by the afterhours doctor to attest to the cause of death.

2. Routine (Dressings and Injections) or Clinical Needs Patients - These patients usually have specific ongoing needs or bookings for once-off attendances. Click here to download the Special Patient Report - General Instructions template.
3. Incident Report Patients - These patients are added to the 'Special Patient' database because they may represent a threat to our doctor's security. Please click here to download the Special Patient Report - General Instructions to advise us of any patients that you would like to alert to our service.
If you have any further questions with regards to Special Patients, please contact Family Care Medical Services on 07 3831 9999 and ask to speak to the Preparations Room Coordinator.
