Patients With Flu Like Symptoms Should Call Their GP First

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is advising patients with flu like symptoms to call their local general practice to seek advice before presenting at the practice to seek care.

Advice that directs patients with flu like systems to present at their local general practice could potentially contribute to the spread of this disease, counteracting our efforts to manage its impact on our communities," said Dr Chris Mitchell, RACGP President and GP in northern New South Wales.
