Spirometry is a lung function test used to diagnose and assess the severity of chronic lung conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma.
Nurse Corrina can use this opportunity to review your inhaler technique and your Chronic Condition Management Plan
This service costs $50 and you must review your results with your GP
Immunisations
One of the best ways to prevent illness is vaccination.
Harding Street Medical Centre stocks a wide range of government funded and private vaccines
Immunisations are recommended at various stages of life e.g. childhood, pregnancy and for older people as well as prior to travel to some countries
Speak to your GP about what vaccinations you might be due for.
If you are planning to travel overseas we recommend to book a travel consult with your GP at least 6 weeks prior to departure. This booking will include time with the nurse to administer any necessary vaccines.
Bulk-billed flu vaccination clinics run from April – June each year
