What our practice nurses do for your wound
Practice nurses are at the heart of wound care at Carindale Doctors. They assess your wound at every visit, clean it, choose and apply the right dressing, and track how it’s healing over time. They also teach you how to care for it at home and recognise warning signs, so you feel confident between appointments.
You can book directly with our nursing team for wound care, without seeing a GP first. If your nurse notices anything that needs a doctor’s attention, such as infection or a wound that isn’t closing, they’ll arrange for a GP to see you, often during the same visit.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ practice nurses deliver wound care and nursing inside Westfield Carindale, assessing, cleaning and dressing wounds, tracking healing and teaching home care. You can book directly with the nurses, and GP review is arranged when needed. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
