In every consultation, his objective is to listen carefully, provide evidence-based information, and give you the time you need to make informed health decisions. Adam understands the sensitivity of personal health topics and strives to create a comfortable and supportive environment, while helping you achieve the best possible outcomes.
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice Registered Nurse who has completed a Master's degree and is endorsed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). NPs are qualified to provide specialised patient care, including diagnosing diseases, prescribing medications, ordering pathology and radiology investigations, and referring patients to other specialists as needed.
​
Patients do not require a referral from their General Practitioner to schedule an appointment with an NP and still have access to Medicare rebates.
​
Adam provides a service that collaborates with your treating General Practitioner or existing Urologist (if applicable) to provide a holistic healthcare model.
