How to Speak to a GP Over the Christmas Period

17 Dec 2024

The holiday season is a time for celebration, relaxation, and spending time with loved ones. But it can also be a challenging time to access healthcare when you need it most. Many medical centres and GP clinics reduce their hours or close entirely over Christmas and New Year, leaving patients unsure of where to turn for medical support.

At Our Sage Telehealth, we understand the importance of convenient, reliable care during the festive season. That’s why we’re open every day throughout Christmas and New Year – ensuring you can speak to a GP whenever you need to

Why You Might Need to See a GP Over the Holidays.

The festive period often comes with unexpected health concerns. Whether it’s due to a minor illness, injury, or needing routine healthcare, Our Sage Telehealth is here to help. Some common reasons you might need to see a GP during Christmas and New Year include:

Unexpected Illness: Seasonal colds, flu, or food poisoning can put a damper on your celebrations.

Medication Needs: If you’ve run out of regular prescriptions or need a new script.

Minor Injuries: Burns, cuts, or sprains are common during holiday cooking and celebrations.

Medical Certificates: Whether you’re unwell for work or unable to travel, a medical certificate may be required.

Referrals: If you need specialist care or further testing but can’t access your regular GP.

No matter the reason, Our Sage Telehealth makes it easy to speak with a qualified Australian doctor from the comfort of your home, 7am to 11pm AEST every day, including public holidays.
