RAP Clinic
Children and teenagers at Renmark High School, Renmark Primary School, Renmark North Primary School and Renmark West Primary School can now access free healthcare consultations with a local doctor at school.
The service is called the Riverland Academy of Clinical Excellence and Renmark Medical Clinic Rapid Access Paediatric Clinic – or RAP Clinic for short. The new service is being run by Riverland Academy of Clinical Excellence (RACE) in collaboration with Renmark Medical Clinic (RMC) and local state schools.
Through the clinic, a doctor called a Trainee Medical Officer (TMO) will be on-site at each school to provide a healthcare consultation to students of all ages. During the consultation, children and teenagers can discuss any healthcare concerns that they would visit a General Practitioner to discuss. For example, concerns about their mental health, healthy diet and exercise or contraception.
Parents and guardians are required to be present during these consultations at school.
If required, the TMO will refer students to the Renmark Medical Clinic for a bulk-billed consultation with a GP during dedicated hours each afternoon.
