Living with an ongoing health condition can involve regular monitoring, medication reviews, preventive care and coordination between different health professionals. At Torquay Medical Health & Wellness Clinic, our GPs provide personalised chronic disease management in Torquay to help patients understand their health, prepare for reviews and make informed decisions over time.
Care is tailored to your circumstances and may change as your health needs evolve. A GP appointment is the best place to discuss which services, reviews or referrals may be appropriate for you.
Ongoing GP care and monitoring
Continuity of care can help your doctor build a clearer picture of your medical history, current treatments and health priorities. Depending on your needs, an appointment may include discussing symptoms, reviewing medicines, checking relevant measurements or test results, and planning follow-up care.
Our general practice team in Torquay supports patients across different life stages. You can also learn more about the clinicians on our Meet the Team page.
Chronic disease care planning
Some eligible patients may benefit from a structured care plan prepared with their GP. Care planning can help identify health goals, document agreed actions and coordinate care where several providers are involved. Eligibility, inclusions and any applicable Medicare requirements should be discussed with your doctor, as individual circumstances differ.
Please book a longer consultation if you have several concerns, a complex history or paperwork to review. This allows more time for a thorough discussion.
Coordinated healthcare and referrals
Long-term care may involve pathology, imaging, allied health professionals, specialists, pharmacists or other services. Your GP can discuss clinically appropriate referrals and help bring relevant information together. Our connection with the broader Geelong Medical & Health Group also supports access to a wider network of healthcare services, while your care remains based on your individual needs and preferences.
Supporting long-term health goals
Chronic disease management is not only about responding to symptoms. Your GP may also discuss preventive health, lifestyle factors, screening, immunisation and practical ways to support your wellbeing. Recommendations depend on your diagnosis, medical history, medicines and personal goals.
Regular reviews can be useful even when you feel well. They provide an opportunity to check progress, raise new concerns and adjust the plan when appropriate.
Preparing for your appointment
If available, bring an up-to-date medicine list, recent specialist letters or results, and any home readings you have been asked to record. Writing down your main questions beforehand can also help you use the appointment well.
Before attending, please review our opening hours and fees. If you are unsure which appointment type or duration to choose, call reception on (03) 5264 8838.
