At Dural Family Medical Practice, some of our doctors have undertaken additional sub-specialisation training in skin cancer medicine and perform regular skin checks and skin cancer removals.
Skin checks are strongly recommended for all adults in Australia. Common risk factors for skin cancer include having multiple moles (naevi), having fair skin and hair colour, a history of past sun exposure(especially having grown up in Australia), and a family history of melanoma.
Antenatal Care
Our Pregnancy and Antenatal Care services at Dural Family Medical Practice are here to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and afterwards. With a focus on personalised care, your team of GP's will offer regular check-ups and evidence-based advice at each stage, from pre-conception planning to post-partum care.
Please also have a chat with your GP if you are struggling to fall pregnant, have experienced miscarriage, or if you have experienced birth trauma or any perinatal mental health concerns. We are committed to helping you prepare for a safe labour and delivery, as well as being here for the entire journey. We are always available to confidentially explore any concerns around conception options, post-natal mental health, breastfeeding, lactation and bonding with your baby.
In times of accidents and emergencies, immediate and accessible care is critical. DFMP has been Dural's Medical Centre of choice to deal with accidents and injuries for over 30 years. We are equipped to handle urgent medical situations, and triage conditions that can be treated onsite or transferred to the local Emergency Department.
We are available to see patients with lacerations (cuts), head injuries, motor vehicle accidents, work injuries, sports injuries, fractures, falls and sprains, or if you require sutures (stitches). Please give us a call if you are on your way, so that your doctor and nurse can best prepare for your arrival.
As we are not a Government Urgent Care Centre (UCC), please present directly to your local Emergency Department or call 000 if you are experiencing any of the following:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath or breathing difficulties
Sudden onset of weakness, numbness, or paralysis of the face, leg, or arm
