Specialist Event Medical can care for you at home too...

Specialist Event Medical Pty Ltd is aware of the healthcare crisis affecting many people across Victoria with long wait times in Emergency Departments, ambulances being ramped for long periods leading to delays in ambulance response times.

To do our bit to try and change this, Specialist Event Medical Pty Ltd will be offering an Emergency Care @ Home service to people who can have their healthcare provided safely in the comfort of their own home or workplace.

Fee paying customers will be visited at home by one of our senior emergency doctors who will be able to provide:

• Wound assessments and care including glue or stitches where needed

• Pain management strategies for acute and chronic pain patients

• Advice and management of high blood pressure or other medical issues

• Intravenous fluid therapy and medications for gastroenteritis or other illnesses

• Some blood tests and/or ultrasound scans where these will determine treatment decisions

Doctors will also be able to refer patients for further tests where required as well as medical specialist follow up if necessary.

Cost for this service will be $350+GST. Some patients may be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

Unfortunately we do not have capacity to see patients with mental health or substance-related problems. We suggest contacting your local Mental Health Triage service or if necessary, your local Emergency Department.

We are also not an Emergency Service. Whilst we endeavour to get to you in a timely manner, we drive safely and in accordance with the road laws. It may take us a few hours to get to you. If you need help sooner, if this is a life-threatening emergency, please don't hesitate to call Ambulance Victoria via 000.

In an Emergency, call Ambulance Victoria on 000.
