GP Services for Older Adults
Treating problems as they come up is not enough for ageing well. It requires you to have a GP who knows your history, keeps an eye on the bigger picture, and makes sure nothing is missed. At Smith St Medical Centre Canberra, our GPs support older adults across the ACT with practical, personalised care that helps maintain independence, manage chronic conditions, and plan ahead with confidence.
Appointments are commonly booked for annual 75+ health checks, chronic disease reviews, medication management, falls prevention, and early memory/cognition concerns. Family members and carers are welcome to be involved, and when specialist input is needed, we can arrange referrals to geriatricians, neurologists, or allied health services as appropriate.
