Policy
Payment
Payment is expected at the time of the consultation in cash or by cheque.
Credit and debit cards may not be used.
Prescribing
Many psychiatric disorders respond to non-drug treatments. Patients should
not necessarily expect to have medications prescribed. Dr McClure rarely, if
ever, advises the use of benzodiazepine sedatives. Stimulant drugs
(\"Ritalin,\" dexamphetamine) require the prior approval of the State
Department of Health and will only be prescribed after careful review of all
the issues involved, and with the referring GP\'s agreement to take over
prescribing after a 6-month period.
In some cases a condition of prescribing is that the patient agrees to submit
to regular, random urine and/or blood testing for drugs of abuse.
After-hours contact
Dr McClure is unavailable for direct after-hours contact and has no hospital
affiliations.
If a problem arises on a weekend, or outside the hours of 9am to 5 pm on a
weekday, we advise that the patient contact his or her GP (or their after-hours
service), the nearest public hospital, or the local Mental Health \"Crisis
Team.\"
General patient population
Referrals of patients within the age group 18 to 64 with current or probable
mood, anxiety or somatoform disorders, ADHD, PTSD or inter-personal
problems are welcomed.
Dr McClure has no specific expertise in the assessment or treatment of
severe psychotic disorders, developmental disability or organic and
neuropsychiatric problems.
Medico-legal referrals
Referrals for medico-legal assessments are accepted from private
solicitors, Insurance companies, Veterans\' Affairs, Health Services Australia
and other sources, both plaintiff and defendant.
Dr McClure is an accredited Authorised Report Writer for the NSW Victims\'
Compensation Tribunal and has also undergone training in this state\'s Motor
Accidents Authority assessment protocols.
