This practice provides a comprehensive rural general practice including surgery, anaesthetics and obstetrics. Also available on site is a wide range of diagnostic services including x-ray, ultrasound, hearing, heart and breathing tests. Other services include acupuncture, back manipulation and dispensary. Theodore Medical is the only private practice in Theodore and services the townships of Theodore, Cracow and surrounding areas. The practice is fully accredited through AGPAL and strives to uphold a high standard of service. The Principal, Dr Bruce Chater, is a Medical Superintendent (of Theodore Hospital) with Right of Private Practice. The practice also employs an assistant doctor (part-time), Dr Adele Love and a registrar, currenlty Dr Matthew French. Due to the destruction of the Theodore Medical private practice facility caused by the Christmas 2010 flood, Theodore Medical is now working from a demountable kindly loaned by Anglo American and installed by Queensland Health on the hospital grounds. Thedore Medical is based on a private billing system although pensioners and healthcare cardholders are bulk billed at Doctors' discretion. As a training practice, Theodore Medical has two University of Queensland medical students attached to the pracatice each academic year. As well as these students, other medical students from other Australian and overseas universities enjoy time attached to this practice. Notices will advise you of a student's presence and your permission for them to be a part of your consultation is requested. If this situation is unacceptable to you, please fell free to decline the offer of their presence. Keeping abreast of technology, Theodore Medical is a fully computerised surgery using Medical Director as the clinical software and Pracsoft for administration. The practice has two servers managing patient records and follows strict protocols to ensure this information is secure.
