To ensure we are providing the best services to patients within our capability, we have established sessions dedicated to addressing the above symptoms.

Minister Launches #SeeYourGP Campaign at View Street Medical
On Friday the 1st May the WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) launched their new campaign #SeeYourGP at View Street Medical. The WA Minister for Health The Hon Roger Cook and the Chair of WAPHA, Dr Richard Choong, along with invited guests, spoke to the media at the front of the practice, about the #SeeYourGP campaign which is focused on reminding patients to attend medical appointments in person, when appropriate, for their ongoing healthcare. In light of the COVID-19 restrictions, there has been concern that people may be neglecting their medical care. View Street Medical has been facilitating both Telehealth and in-person appointments throughout these extraordinary times, during the COVID 19 pandemic. The practice has made many adjustments in our operations and physical features of the practice to ensure we can operate with the highest standards of safety as we care for our patients.
