Why is an ECG Important?
An ECG can help diagnose and monitor several heart conditions, including:
- Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that may require further investigation or treatment.
- Heart Attacks: Identifying signs of past or ongoing heart attacks.
- Cardiomyopathy: Assessing heart muscle health and function.
- Electrolyte Imbalances: Detecting issues that can affect heart function.
What to Expect During an ECG

Protecting Your Health Through Vaccination
At Black Fish Medical Clinic, we offer comprehensive immunisation services to help safeguard you and your loved ones from infectious diseases. Our experienced healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing effective vaccinations that stimulate your immune system and promote overall health.
What Are Immunisations?
Immunisations, also known as vaccinations or inoculations, are essential medical interventions that prepare the immune system to fight specific diseases. They work by introducing weakened or inactive forms of pathogens (like viruses or bacteria) or their components, prompting the body to produce antibodies and memory cells for future protection.
Benefits of Immunisations:
- Disease Prevention: Protects against serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses.
- Community Health: Contributes to herd immunity, reducing the spread of infectious diseases within the community.
- Long-Term Protection: Provides lasting immunity, often for years or even a lifetime.
Our Immunisation Services
Comprehensive Vaccination Programs
- Childhood Immunisations: Complete vaccination schedules for infants and children, including DTaP, MMR, polio, and more.
- Adult Vaccinations: Essential vaccines for adults, including flu shots, shingles, and tetanus boosters.

Restoring Your Energy and Vitality
At Black Fish Medical Clinic, we offer iron infusion therapy to help treat iron deficiency anaemia and restore your energy levels. If you are experiencing fatigue, weakness, or other symptoms related to low iron, our iron infusion service provides a quick and effective solution.
Key Components of Our Iron Infusion Services
What is an Iron Infusion?
- An iron infusion involves the direct administration of iron into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) drip. This method allows your body to absorb iron more quickly, especially when oral iron supplements aren’t effective or suitable.
Who Should Consider Iron Infusion?
- Individuals with diagnosed iron deficiency anaemia.
- Those who have trouble absorbing iron from food or supplements due to digestive conditions (like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease).
- People who require a rapid boost in iron levels, such as before or after surgery, or for pregnant women with low iron levels.
Benefits of Iron Infusion
- Rapid Results: Unlike oral supplements, which can take weeks to show effects, an iron infusion typically restores your iron levels quickly, often within a single treatment.
- Improved Energy: Iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood, and replenishing your iron stores can help relieve symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
- Fewer Side Effects: For some people, iron infusions are a preferred option due to the reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as constipation or stomach upset, which can occur with oral iron.
What to Expect During an Iron Infusion
- Comfortable Procedure: The infusion takes place in a comfortable, relaxed environment and usually takes about 30–60 minutes.
- Monitor and Aftercare: Our team will monitor you throughout the procedure for safety. Afterward, you may feel immediate relief, though it may take a few days for full benefits to be noticed.
Ongoing Support and Follow-Up
- Regular Monitoring: Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your iron levels and ensure that you’re responding well to treatment.
- Dietary Advice: Our team will provide guidance on iron-rich foods to help maintain healthy iron levels once the infusion is complete.
Let Black Fish Medical Clinic support you in restoring your iron levels and improving your overall health with our safe and effective iron infusion therapy.
