After Hours Doctor Services in Edith, NSW 2787

Community Overview

Edith, located in the New South Wales countryside, offers its community members peace, open space, and a sense of belonging. However, obtaining medical care during non-operating hours poses a unique problem for rural dwellers. Situations may include:

1.   A spike in body temperature during the night
2.   A fall in the garden on a Sunday afternoon
3.   A child who feels unwell on a public holiday

Getting medical attention within the appropriate timeframe can seem impossible.

Why Choose 13CURE?

This is exactly the reason 13CURE provides after-hours home doctor services in Edith, specifically tailored for

1.   Rural families
2.   Elderly individuals
3.   Those requiring immediate attention

Our physicians offer not just medical treatment but also peace of mind, professional guidance, and support right when you need it the most.

Closing the Gap in Access to Healthcare Services

Communities like Edith have very limited medical facilities, especially after hours. The traditional method of travelling to the emergency department can be geographically inconvenient and dangerous for bedridden patients.

This lack of access is one of the reasons the region still experiences limited healthcare.

Consequences of Limited Access

This leads to consequences such as

1.   Health problems that are otherwise easy to manage go unaddressed for longer than needed.
2.   Unwarranted usage of emergency services for issues that do not require emergency attention.
3.   Complete avoidance of care can worsen symptoms over time.

How 13CURE Addresses These Issues

13CURE best addresses these issues by providing reputable and prompt care at home, performed by properly qualified general practitioners experienced in rural medicine.

Common Concerns Residents May Have

Are home visits as effective as clinic visits?

Yes. Although clinics provide some services like diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests, most health issues needing urgent attention but are non-life-threatening can be managed safely at home. Our GPs bring along a medical kit with appropriate equipment, medications, and resources for diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses experienced after hours.

No.

What if my symptoms get worse?

Our doctors are trained to diagnose serious illnesses and will arrange for transfer or referral to a hospital or emergency facility if needed. While safety is our top priority, our focus is always on our patients.

Can I book a visit for another person?

Absolutely, be it your child, parent, or spouse, you can book a home doctor visit for them.
