Cold and flu symptoms: what to do before attending

Results and contacting your doctor

Your doctor will advise you during the consultation whether results will be discussed by phone or sent through HotDoc. In some situations, a follow-up appointment is needed to discuss the results and management plan. Reception staff cannot discuss medical results because they are not medically trained and do not have access to those results. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}

Patients cannot always be transferred directly to their doctor while the doctor is consulting. The clinic asks patients to leave a message with reception or speak with the Practice Manager, after which the doctor will return the call when possible. For emergencies, call 000. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}

Cancellation and missed appointments

Durrant Medical Clinic says first-time no-shows and late cancellations are not charged. Subsequent no-shows and late cancellations may incur a fee equivalent to a standard appointment. The practice encourages patients to contact reception promptly when they need to cancel or rebook so the appointment can be offered to another patient. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}

After-hours medical care

The clinic also directs patients to Sandringham Emergency Department at 193 Bluff Road, Sandringham VIC, when emergency hospital care is required. For a life-threatening emergency, call 000. :contentReference[oaicite:29]{index=29}
