foreign getting a prescription is something most Australians associate with a trip to the doctor but in Queensland for some ailments you can consult a pharmacist instead so you feel you've got a UTI yeah yeah can you explain the symptoms that you're experiencing um so I've got burning constantly needing to go to the toilet and a little bit of pain the Queensland government has led the country in allowing pharmacists with additional training the right to prescribe medicine in specific circumstances other states are looking to follow I think it all comes down to accessibility my Pharmacy in particular is open 364 days of the year and we're open 12 13 hours a day constantly meaning to go this patient came in on a public holiday when her GP Clinic was closed urinary tract infections are among the top 10 reasons people see GPS So based on your situation I can help you and help with some antibiotics all right so I'm going to give you some tablets allowing more Pharmacists and also nurses to order drugs is among proposed Medicare reforms and obviously if it doesn't improve then obviously to your doctor come on in Jay come on Jules Bosch GPS say seating that territory would put patience at risk stick a tongue out from your air there's no such thing as just a script or just a cough personally someone recently presented with a cough now that actually turned out to be lung cancer another proposed Medicare reform is expanding the roles of nurses physios dietitians psychologists and other primary care workers many GPS aren't keen and are adamant they must see patients first in order to coordinate their care often people don't know what they don't know it takes a long time to be a GP it takes 10 years but some GP practices have have already implemented a different approach I'm a little bit early this Aboriginal Medical Center North of Brisbane has more than 15 different health professionals on site Joy Jennings has been coming here for two years she has complex chronic medical problems today she's seeing the doctor but the clinic also has a dietitian psychologist occupational therapist and more the pain I think has been a bit of a worry from the first day I got here I was appointed a social worker and she was amazing for Joy it's been a game changer my health hasn't actually improved yeah I definitely these siblings are here for an annual health check oh how you doing good the nurse does a broad psychological social and physical assessment do you mind just following me around so do I see a doctor that highlights issues to be followed up by the doctor yeah so we've got a physiotherapist just in the clinic here that we can refer you to if you want I would say in terms of preventative health this is a better model because it's just it's like a one stop for everything this might be a glimpse of the future of Primary Health Care thank you any guest ABC News
