RACGP SPECIAL COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics | Dr Colin Pearce

Just a GP

In this next episode of COVID vaccination clinics Dr Colin Pearce joins Charlotte to discuss the plans for his practice. Colin works in a rather large general practice in Newcastle which is owned by IPN. They own 3 practices which cover a mixed demographic; these practices are in Charlestown, Redhead and Windale. Over the 3 sites there are around 27,000 active patients, 24 doctors, 10 nurses and 15 reception as well as management staff. Please note: since the recording took place on 4 March the information has changed and the practice has altered the plans to suit. The main change is that they will only have 400 a week at first and then they will move to longer clinic sessions less often with more doctors to get to 1500 a week.
