Season’s greetings from all of us at GAALS Brisbane

As the festive season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for trusting me with your health and medical care throughout the year.

In what has been the busiest year yet for GAALS, I am continually grateful for the opportunity to provide high quality care and advice that promotes women’s health.

Our team will be taking a break over the Christmas and New Year period to recharge and spend time with family and friends.

We will be closing from Friday afternoon, 22 December 2023, and will reopen on 8 January 2024.

While we are away, you can make a booking using our booking form, and I will be available to respond to any urgent messages.

I hope that you and your loved ones have a peaceful and joyous holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you again in 2024.

Season’s greetings from all of us at GAALS Brisbane

As the holiday season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to thank my patients for entrusting me with their health and wellbeing throughout the year. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide high quality care and advice that promotes women’s health.

This year has been unlike any other for GAALS. While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought added stress and uncertainty, we have remained committed to providing the highest quality care in a safe and comfortable environment.

A particular highlight for me has been moving into our new, beautiful, consulting rooms at Suite 317 in the Ramsay Specialist Centre at Greenslopes. I have had so many patients tell me we have created such a welcoming space. Thank you.

We will be closing for the festive season from midday on 23 December 2022, and will reopen on 9 January 2023.

While we are away, you can make a booking using our online form, and I will be available to respond to any urgent messages.

I hope that you and your loved ones have a peaceful and joyous holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you again in 2023.

-Amy

We're taking a short break

The team at GAALS has been particularly busy this year, moving into our brand new consulting rooms in April, and working solidly since that time.

Our consulting rooms will be unattended while we take a short break to recharge our batteries. We return on 14 November 2022.

Welcome to our new consulting rooms — Suite 317, Ramsay Specialist Centre

Over the Easter long weekend, we moved into our beautiful, new consulting rooms on Level 3 in the Ramsay Specialist Centre. We look forward to welcoming patients to our new space later today.

To find us, when you enter the Ramsay Specialist Centre, take the lift to Level 3, and as you exit the lift, Suite 317 is on the right hand side.

-Amy

We're moving on up (to level 3)

We’ve been working hard over the last six months to create a new, beautiful and inviting space for our patients.

I am very excited to share that from 19 April 2022 (just after Easter), GAALS will be moving to our new consulting rooms, up one floor to Suite 317 in the Ramsay Specialist Centre.

All of our other contact details will stay the same.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new space soon.

Keeping you safe – COVID-19

The escalating transmission of COVID-19 is concerning and continues to be a challenge for everyone. I hope you and your families are safe and well at this difficult time.

As we reopen for 2022, we plan to see patients and operate at Greenslopes as normally as possible, and have implemented additional safety measures in our personal protective equipment and cleaning. Our online booking form is the best way to browse and book the appointment that suits you best.

“If you have any COVID-19 symptoms or are unwell, please don’t visit our consulting rooms – we can change your appointment to telehealth, or reschedule it for another time”

The most important thing you can do is to stay home if you are unwell or have any COVID-19 symptoms. We offer telehealth appointments where suitable – please ask us if you think that’s a better option for you at this time.

What you need to do when you visit our consulting rooms:

• wear a face mask that covers your nose, mouth and chin, use some hand sanitiser, and maintain physical distance when you can

• check in using the Check In Qld app and show your ‘green tick’ to our receptionist

• use our patient portal to fill in your demographic details and upload your referral before your appointment to minimise the handling of paperwork in our practice

• use contactless forms of payment.

Things we are doing to help keep you safe:

• we check the COVID-19 vaccination status of all patients and visitors

• we continue to use appropriate personal protective equipment, including masks and eye wear, and have implemented additional cleaning of high-touch areas in our consulting rooms

• all GAALS employees are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, we follow all health advice, and will not work in our consulting rooms if we have any symptoms of COVID-19 – I am sorry if this results in any inconvenience or last minute changes to appointments or surgery.

We know that things may change – for you and for us – during this difficult time, and I thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
