Geography & Lifestyle

Mid Valley Family Medicine is located at the eastern end of the Mid Valley Shopping Centre, Morwell, Gippsland's largest regional shopping centre.  Morwell is a comfortable 150 km drive east of Melbourne and the area has a population of approximately 20,000.  The Latrobe Regional Hospital is in close proximity as is Maryvale Private Hospital. 

Morwell has a vast range of recreational activities which can be accessed easily including skiing at Mt. Hotham and Mt. Baw Baw, swimming and surfing at local beaches, bush walking at Wilson's Promontory and other National Parks.  Phillip Island is also within easy reach.  Morwell itself offers numerous activities such as ten pin bowling, indoor sports stadiums and fitness centres.  It also hosts an eight cinema complex.

Morwell has a number of excellent educational facilities close by.  Private and Catholic schools are offered in Morwell and also in Churchill and Traralgon, which are some 15 minutes drive.  Monash University Gippsland Campus is based at Churchill.  Close links are maintained with the new medical school in Churchill.
 

Building

Mid Valley Family Medicine occupies a unique position in being fully integrated with the thriving shopping centre and is a well-designed purpose built practice with six consulting rooms.  There are two treatment areas and a pathology specimen area and two separate waiting areas.
 

Clinical

The practice is fully accredited to RACGP standards.

Our practice is fully computerised using Medical Director allowing doctors to automatically download pathology, cytology and x-ray results.

The doctors are supported by nursing and administration staff.  The practice has a very large patient base from the very young to the elderly.  The doctors are also involved in company vaccination programes and participate in Chronic Disease Management and Incentive Programmes.  The practice is equipped to undertake analytical ECGs, computerised spirometry, a range of minor surgical procedures, industrial medicals and any other unexpected emergencies such as lacerations and fractures.  We also have on site pathology, and x-ray facilities are available within eight kilometres.

We have a visiting Mental Health Nurse one day per week, and there is a wide range of ancillary supports in close proximity.  Strong links are maintained with the District Nursing Service and the Latrobe Valley Palliative Care Service.

There is currently no requirement for weekend or after hours on-call commitment from the registrars.  The practice does however maintain a 24-hour, seven-day per week on-call service.
