Alternative medicines
Consultations with a nurse practitioner who takes the time complex cases need, prescribes without a preferred supplier, and lets you fill your script wherever you like.
$99 first consultation. $59 repeats. Evenings and weekends. Not a product page: we do not sell or promote medicines.
How we are different
01
Brand agnostic
No preferred supplier, no house brand, and no arrangement that rewards prescribing one thing over another. If something is prescribed, the choice is clinical. If nothing is, that is a normal outcome too. Nobody here earns anything based on what you are prescribed. See our standards.
02
Your pharmacy, your choice
Your prescription belongs to you. Fill it at any pharmacy that can dispense it, and change whenever you want. If you would like help finding one near you, we can do that. It is never a condition of anything. [Pending: how pharmacy help works in practice.]
03
Complex cases
Several conditions, several medicines, a long history, or a file other clinics found too hard. That is who this clinic was built for. We work alongside your GP and specialists, and refer you on when something is outside what we do.
About our consulting room. Our in-person appointments take place in a consulting room at Foote’s Pharmacy in Redbank Plains. [Pending: plain description of the arrangement with the pharmacy.] You are never required to fill a prescription there.
How we work
Twenty minutes with a nurse practitioner, by video or phone, all of it spent on your history rather than on paperwork.
Every condition, not just the one you came about. Every medicine and supplement, prescribed or not, and how they interact. What has already been tried and what happened. Your mental health and substance use, asked properly. Who else is involved in your care, and what you actually want from treatment.
Whether any medicine is appropriate for you is a clinical decision, made after that assessment. Nobody here can tell you the answer before the conversation, and nobody should.
You leave with a plan in writing, with review dates, and you see the same practitioner next time.
What we don’t do
And we will not keep you on anything that is not working. Stopping is a normal outcome and we support it.
We do not promote medicines, we do not sell them, and we do not have products.
We are not a same day service and we are not an emergency service.
We do not replace your GP. We work alongside them.
Already with another clinic
Feel locked in somewhere else? You can move. Your prescription is yours, you choose where it is filled, and nothing needs cancelling before you talk to us.
Where it is clinically appropriate, yes. Whether it is appropriate for you is a decision your practitioner makes after a full assessment, and not before.
Not necessarily. Some people are, some are not, and some need further assessment first. Anyone who tells you before assessing you that you will be prescribed something is not doing their job.
[Pending: disclosure of the arrangement with Foote’s Pharmacy, where our in-person consulting room is.]
$99 first consultation, $59 repeats. Bring your full list of medicines and supplements and any previous reports: the more history you bring, the more useful the appointment.
