Refer Your Patient
Background
Alternative medicine therapy became legal in Australia in 2016 for a range of different medical conditions. Health care professionals have the ability to submit to the TGA for permission to use alternative medicine therapy as a method of treatment. The professional team at MiDispensary only work with patient conditions where alternative medicine is deemed appropriate and handle the process of application to the TGA and on-going support as a part of our treatment program
Why refer your patient?
At MiDispensary we specialise in alternative medicine and treatment. If you feel alternative therapy may be appropriate in the treatment of a condition your patient has been previously diagnosed with, you can easily refer your patient to our professional team for assessment and treatment. We can then work in a shared care role with your patient to ensure they get the right treatment and care to ensure overall patient well-being.
Is alternative medicine treatment suitable for my patient?
Evidence has shown that alternative medicine therapy has been effective in treating numerous different medical conditions. Some of the conditions where alternative medicine therapy has been most effective are:
- Long standing discomforts
- Emotional issues
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Period pain
While there are numerous options for traditional treatment of the above conditions, patients have found there to be side effects which out way the benefits or the long-term use of these treatments to be unsustainable. Alternative medicine therapy has proven appropriate and effective in mitigating the negative side effects associated with traditional treatments as well as providing effective treatment. The TGA has a dedicated site for information on alternative medicine therapy for Health professionals.
