These non-invasive assessments provide vital data right here at the clinic, allowing for rapid diagnosis and the immediate creation of precise treatment plans without unnecessary external referrals. Our comprehensive diagnostic services cover cardiovascular, hearing, and respiratory assessments. We perform ECGs (Electrocardiograms) to record the electrical activity of your heart, helping investigate symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.

We immediately review your International Normalised Ratio (INR) results and provide clear guidance on dietary factors or potential medication interactions. This streamlined, precise monitoring eliminates the need to wait for external pathology results, giving you absolute peace of mind and immediate control over your heart health.

This lightweight, non-invasive equipment is fitted on-site by our clinical team and worn comfortably under your clothes. The 24-hour blood pressure monitor helps our doctors diagnose conditions like "white-coat hypertension" or hidden high blood pressure, while the continuous heart rate monitor tracks fluctuations to investigate symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. Once the device is returned, your doctor will analyse the comprehensive data report to safely tailor your cardiovascular treatment or medication plan.

Albany Clinic & Skin Screen offers comprehensive skin cancer checks to promote early detection and protect your skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation. With skin cancer accounting for a significant proportion of all cancers diagnosed locally, regular professional screenings are vital for identifying suspicious spots before they develop into serious health concerns. During your dedicated consultation, our experienced doctors perform a thorough, head-to-toe examination using specialised dermoscopy equipment to evaluate moles, freckles, and any changing skin lesions. We look for early signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, ensuring any irregularities are documented for monitoring or treated promptly. If a suspicious spot is identified, our team can perform on-site biopsies or surgical excisions, providing you with a seamless pathway from detection to recovery.

Our practice offers safe, efficient on-site iron infusions to effectively treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia when oral supplements are ineffective or poorly tolerated. Intravenous iron delivery bypasses the digestive tract, allowing your body to rapidly restore its iron stores and significantly improve symptoms like chronic fatigue, weakness, brain fog, and breathlessness. Conducted in our comfortable treatment room, the procedure is performed by our experienced GPs and clinical nurses under close medical supervision. We manage the entire process seamlessly, from your initial blood test review and prescription to the infusion itself and post-treatment monitoring.
