Call The Doctor provides afterhours doctor home visits for the general public of Hobart and Adelaide.
Patient care is our highest priority, we provide medical care throughout the after hours period for patients in the comfort of their own home, or residential aged care facility.
Our doctor's provide patients with medical services ranging from simple advice and reassurance to complex dressings, sutures, prescriptions and medications. Many of our doctors have extensive Emergency Department training. We have a close working relationship with the senior staff of Local Hospitals and this facilitates a smooth transition to the hospitals for patients who require further assessment. Each team is equipped with fully stocked doctor’s bag comprising starter packs of antibiotics, anti-emetics, injectables, emergency resuscitation drugs, dressings and more. We do not carry narcotic medications.
