Medical Director supports pre-rehab meetings

Our Medical Director, Dr Roly Vinci, met with us yesterday to see the rehab and to discuss a few strategies. It was agreed that we would set up pre-rehab meetings at his practices to allow us to meet with some of the clients he and his team of doctors have that suffer issues with addiction. This will allow the client to come to a meeting with me at the practice on a regular session basis, for either one to one meetings or group meetings, whichever they would prefer. I would give a presentation on the rehab for them. This will allow the client to get a sense of what to expect at rehab, and the programs on offer in an environment that was familiar to them, and to have questions answered about treatment should they have any. I could then offer the people that wanted to progress this further to a meeting at the rehab to see the place, and to have an initial assessment.

We can also attend the team meetings they have on Mondays to present to the team of doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists at each practice he owns, to ensure that they are all familiar with the processes at the rehab, and what we have on offer there. With direct access to over 50,000 clients, this will assist our intake enormously. We have also been invited to join General Practice SA, a body for primary health care providers here,  that all SA doctors are registered with, and will give us access to all of them for marketing. Dr Vinci is a Director of that as well.

And finally he took us for a tour of a beautiful new practice that he has just opened on Hutt Street. This is just around the corner from the rehab, walking distance in fact. The previous owner was the man that signed Dr Roly's graduation papers from University, Dr Bray, who's family have lived there for years. Such a beautiful building, built in 1885.
