General Practitioner Network
Working Seamlessly with your Practice
Equip patients with engaging pain management materials
We strive to keep things simple for you, your patient and your practice.
A growing consensus supports the importance of coordinated multi-disciplinary/interdisciplinary management strategies to address chronic pain.Ÿ This approach requires coordinated interdisciplinary assessment and management involving, at a minimum, physical, psychological, and social/environmental factors in each patient.
What we offer
-
Program access within 2 weeks
-
An interdisciplinary approach to pain management, coordinating input from allied health professionals (pharmacist, psychologist, and physiotherapist) and the client's own GP
-
A high level of coordination support, taking the administrative burden off GPs and their practices.
-
An approach that optimises time and MBS billing for the practice.
​
What we need from you
-
Any relevant history relating to the client's chronic pain condition
-
A DMMR referral
-
A Physical and Neurological Exam if the GP believes this will be useful for the overall client clinical assessment. (we will provide a template for your practice software)
-
Referral Form for Individual Allied Health services if the client is also on a GPMP / TCA
-
Your participation in a Case Conference following the allied health assessments.
​
We will document everything, provide case conference notes and draft an individualised pain management plan for your patient based on the case conference.
