Avoid The Hospitals During an Emergency - Coronavirus Update Gold Coast
1 May 2020
Active Hand Therapy offers a Mobile Casting Clinic. We specialise in the treatment and care of all fractures, breaks, broken bones, sprains and wounds.
As the coronavirus continues to spread, the demand on our Gold Coast University Hospital, Robina Hospital and Tweed emergency departments will only increase. Our Private Fracture Clinic is now offering a home visit service to provide care while remaining at home. This is a small way to help alleviate some of the pressure of these big hospitals at this time.
Our Private Fracture Clinic can offer patients a way to avoid busy Hospitals at this time. Our in-clinic services at Coomera, Southport and Palm Beach include:
- Providing casts
- Removal of casts
- Customised splints
- Wound care
- All aspects of the aftercare of these injuries.
We have onsite physiotherapists, specialised hand therapists and can facilitate X-Rays and surgeon referrals if required.
Due to the increase in patients avoiding busy hospitals during the Covid-19 Pandemic we are now extending our services to include mobile casting and customised splints.
Give us a call on (07) 5526 4066 and our lovely staff can step you through the process.
Our Mobile Home Based Fracture Service provides
- Treatment for broken bones and fractures
- Care within your home
- Waterproof and Plaster Casts
- Education and advice on the management of your break
- Tele health Appointments if required for follow-up.
Our clinics provide one on one care at the time of your appointment, reducing waiting time and stress. This home based fracture casting service is especially helpful for children and the older community.
Active Hand Therapy can offer waterproof casts, plaster casts and customised removable splints - we know which one works better for different injuries and can advise on the correct one.
We are also very lucky to work with a network of specialist doctors and orthopaedic surgeons and can facilitate any further care within your appointment.
If you have broken a bone or suspect a fracture you can give us a call on (07) 5526 4066 or Book Online. Choose the nearest clinic to you and we will organise the rest!
We are following the advice being given by the Department of Health to ensure our team complies with all recommendations to keep our staff and patients safe. We cannot visit those patients that are in quarantine for Covid-positive cases and returned travelers.
