FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (AUGUST 19, 2022)

Successful Health Hub Morayfield’s Inaugural 2022 REEC Seed Research Grant Recipients

MORAYFIELD, QUEENSLAND – Health Hub Morayfield hosted its inaugural Research Education and Engagement Committee (REEC) Seed Research Grant Awards. Successful recipients demonstrated viable projects which supported the delivery of patient-centred healthcare. These diverse teams, including health practitioners, early-career researchers, and students, will work together with experienced academics from domestic and international universities, to build local knowledge, skills, and capacity in clinical, therapeutic and health services research.

“One of the visions in the development of the Morayfield Health Hub was to promote much needed primary care research in Australia. That vision has come to fruition today with the first of our seed grant rounds. My congratulations to all of the successful research teams.”, Director of Health Hub Doctors Morayfield and grant Sponsor, Dr. Evan Jones.

Dr. Wayne Graham, Chair of the REEC Committee, said “that the expert review panel was impressed with the quality of the applications. He also expressed his gratitude to Dr. Evan Jones for providing seed funding to strengthen collaborative research teams consisting of health practitioners and university researchers. The seed funding will build capacity for the project teams which in turn enables access to state and national competitive grants funding and most importantly will improve health outcomes for the local community”.

Have you thought about skin checks?

Living in Queensland, skin checks are extremely important as the harsh sun can be damaging to your skin. Regular skin checks can increase the chance of early detection in patients with skin cancer, giving them a higher chance of successful treatment. Skin checks are quick, easy and life saving!

As well as skin checks, our skin doctors perform, biopsies, excisions, grafts/flaps and cosmetic removal of moles/lesions.

If you're due a check, or you'd just like peace of mind, book online now!

The FotoFinder is a state-of-the-art solution for early detection of melanoma! The FotoFinder offers an Automated Total Body Mapping system which scans and takes images of the entire skin surface in a painless manner.

The FotoFinder thoroughly examines your body while recording data and images for future analysis, allowing for easy detection of new skin spots or moles.

The FotoFinder is available for appointments with Dr Ahmed Elsedfy and Dr Maureen Hollyoak every Tuesday.

At Health Hub Doctors Morayfield we have 6 experienced doctors who currently offer skin checks. These include:

• Dr Ahmed Elsedfy

Health Hub Doctors Morayfield is offering Rapid Antigen Tests for anyone who books a PCR test.

Today, 11th February 2022, Health Hub Doctors Morayfield announced they will be administering Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) to any patient who books an appointment for a PCR test in their dedicated respiratory clinic if they wish.

The campaign was created by Health Hub Doctors Morayfield to assist in relieving the pressure many Queenslanders are facing due to long wait times in drive thru clinics and delayed PCR test results. The goal is to ensure all patients coming in for a test leave with the peace of mind that while their PCR test is being processed, they have a rapid antigen test result.

This campaign will apply to any patient who books a PCR test in Health Hub Doctors Morayfield’s respiratory clinic.

Over the last Three Years in addition to General Practice, Health Hub Doctors Morayfield have been providing Urgent Care services as a service to the region.

However, Urgent Care services have operated at a substantial loss because of the inadequate funding provided by the Government to this type of care. Despite extensive discussions with both levels of Government, there is a lack of support from the State & Federal Governments for our Minor Accident & Illness Centre to continue.

Therefore, sadly, it will be closing as of 1st October 2021.

We will no longer be seeing patients requiring urgent care services for non-life-threatening conditions as of this date.

This includes injuries and illnesses such as:

  • Burns,
  • Lacerations/Cuts/Abrasions,
  • Broken bones,
  • Dislocations,
  • Acute severe pain,
  • Major psychiatric disorders,
  • Serious eye and ear injuries, and
  • More major strains and sprains

As well as minor procedures such as:

  • Plastering/casting facilities,
  • Large wound suturing, and
  • Fracture management

Health Hub Doctors Morayfield will revert to a normal General Practice.

All minor accident & illness patients should now go directly to Caboolture or Redcliffe Emergency Departments for treatment.

The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) also will no longer be dropping urgent care patients to our clinic. 



Health Hub Doctors Morayfield, Mum and Bub Hub Morayfield, and Morayfield Family Doctors will continue to operate as usual with Opening Hours:

8am - 8pm 7 days a week, 365 days a year



If you are unhappy about this as much as we are, we would suggest that you
