The Expert GP & NP - Perth

Expertise in Aged Care Medical Services

Welcome to The Expert GP and NP, where our primary focus is enhancing the standard of medical care in nursing homes across Perth. We are a team of seasoned General Practitioners and Nurse Practitioners who specialise in aged care and are committed to improving the health outcomes of your residents.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet impactful: To pair each nursing home with a dedicated General Practitioner, supported by a liaison nurse, to ensure comprehensive and continuous medical care. Understanding the intricacies of medical care in nursing homes, we are adept at managing the essential reporting processes—including incidents of falls, skin tears, and the management plans for ongoing conditions such as diabetes and psychotropic use.

Understanding and Innovation

We recognise the challenges and constraints General Practitioners face in the context of nursing home visits.

From time constraints to complex care requirements, our approach is designed to alleviate these burdens. By implementing effective communication strategies and utilising advanced telecommunication tools, we streamline the care process, making it seamless and more efficient.
