| Adolescent Primary Health Unit |
The aims of the Adolescent Primary Health Unit are a) to
support Central Coast GPs provide general medical services at
Youth Centres to high risk young people in a youth-friendly,
non-judgemental environment; b) to support Youth Centre youth
workers refer and triage adolescents with health needs to the
Youth Centre GP Clinics; c) to facilitate referral processes
between Youth Centre GP clinics and other health/youth related
services.
The clinic was established at a high attendance Youth Centre at the Peninsula Community Centre, on Friday evenings. Three Central Coast GPs agreed to conduct a 4 hour clinic once a week on a rotating roster basis. These GPs were supported by a Clinical Nurse Consultant who conducted joint consults with the GPs and a senior youth worker from the service who referred and triaged young people into the clinics.
