Dear patients, 

​

RE: Change of Practice Management & Transfer of Medical Records

​

It is with a heavy heart, that Rural and Remote Medical Services (RARMS) will be discontinuing management of the Gilgandra Medical Centre on the 9th December 2022. 

We’d like to thank our patients, staff, and the community for their support during our time in Gilgandra.  

To ensure ongoing care for our patients, RARMS has been working with the local council to find a suitable provider to take over the management of the practice.

We are happy to share that from the 9th December 2022, we will be handing over management to The Royal Flying Doctors Service. You will continue to see the same friendly team of doctors, nurses, and staff. Booking can continue to be made by calling (02) 6847 1202.

As part of this transition, all patient records will be transferred securely to The Royal Flying Doctors Service on the 12th December 2022. 

​

This transfer of medical records will happen automatically, you will not need to do anything.

If you do not wish for your records to be transferred to The Royal Flying Doctors Services, or wish to transfer your records to another doctor of your choice, please follow the below steps.

Before 12th December 2022: If you have found a new medical practice, you can ask your new medical practitioner to request your medical record from RARMS. Upon receipt of your signed request, your medical record will be sent securely to your new practitioner.

After 12th December 2022: please contact Royal Flying Doctors Service to transfer your medical files.

​

If you do not wish for your records to be transferred to the Royal Flying Doctors Service, please email transfers@rarms.org.au.

Thank you again for your support, we wish all our patients the very best of health in the future.
 

Kind regards,    

Mark Burdack
CEO
