Exciting Renovations at Westside Medical Centre

Nov 1, 2024 | Practice News & Updates

At Westside Medical Centre in Port Macquarie, we are committed to providing not only exceptional healthcare but also a welcoming and comfortable environment for our patients. With that in mind, we’re excited to share that our practice is undergoing a major refresh.

To begin these improvements, the practice will be closed on Friday, 15th November so we can start laying brand-new flooring in our waiting areas. This marks the first time in 15 years we’ve closed on a weekday outside of a public holiday — and we promise it’s for a great reason! Flooring works will continue over the following 2–3 weeks, alongside other upgrades that will transform the look and feel of our clinic.

What’s Changing

  • New Flooring in Waiting Areas
    Our waiting areas will feature modern, durable flooring designed to create a more hygienic and easy-to-clean space while giving the clinic a fresh, contemporary feel.
  • Fresh Paint Throughout
    Many of our consultation rooms and our reception area have already been repainted in brighter, calming tones. This not only modernises the practice but also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for patients and their families.
  • Upgraded Reception and Waiting Areas
    The reception space will be more inviting, with an improved layout to enhance patient comfort and flow.
  • A More Modern, Accessible Practice
    These renovations are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a professional, safe, and comfortable environment that supports the health and wellbeing of our patients.

Benefits for Our Patients

The renovations are designed to improve every aspect of your visit, including:

  • A More Comfortable Experience
    With a refreshed waiting area and consultation rooms, your time in the practice will feel more welcoming and relaxing.
  • Improved Cleanliness and Hygiene
    The new flooring and updated finishes make cleaning and maintenance easier, supporting a higher standard of hygiene throughout the practice.
  • A Calming Environment
    Thoughtfully chosen colours and finishes help create a space that feels less clinical and more calming, particularly beneficial for children and patients who may feel anxious about medical visits.
  • Modern Facilities for Quality Care
    While our focus remains on outstanding healthcare, an updated environment reflects the quality of the services we provide and ensures we’re meeting modern standards for medical practices.
  • Future-Ready Practice
    These renovations are an investment in the future of Westside Medical Centre, ensuring that our facilities can continue supporting our growing Port Macquarie community for years to come.

Looking Ahead

Painting will continue throughout the flooring works, and we’re aiming to have all renovations completed by the end of the year. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time, and we look forward to welcoming you back into a bright, modernised clinic very soon.

Your comfort and care remain our highest priorities, and we’re confident these upgrades will make every visit to Westside Medical Centre an even better experience.
