My name's Sarah Hunstead. I'm a paediatric nurse and I teach families how to care for their children.
I came and used the facilities at the Medicare Urgent Care Clinic when I broke my foot. I knew that I couldn't wait to see the GP. It wasn't bad enough for the emergency department, so I came here.
The experience was great. The fact that I was able to see a nurse quickly and given the pain relief, that was the best part, because I was much more comfortable to be able to wait for the X-ray. And then, of course, being able to see the doctor, the doctor being able to talk me through exactly what I needed, and I was seen, I was treated. I got referred for an X-ray.
I left with a boot on my foot and crutches. And I would recommend. To find your nearest Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, visit health.gov.au/MedicareUCC
