Comprehensive Healthcare with Bulk Billing & Telehealth Services
Dr. Ahmed Shetia
General Practice & Telehealth & Primary Care Specialist
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are highly qualified healthcare professionals who provide comprehensive primary healthcare services across Australia. With advanced training and endorsement from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, they offer many of the same services as GPs, often with bulk billing options that make healthcare more accessible and affordable.
At Lena Medical, our Nurse Practitioners work alongside our medical team to provide high-quality, patient-centered care through both telehealth and in-person consultations, ensuring you receive the right care at the right time.
