I have been in a fortunate position to be able to educate and inspire the doctors of tomorrow a number of times in my career so far. As a student myself once, I valued hearing about the experience of others, as often more could be learned from this than books.
What piece of advice would you give to others knowing what you know now?
As a general practitioner, a lot of thought and processing goes on behind formulating a management plan and diagnosis. Sometimes, this can take a few visits until an end goal is reached. This groundwork, I believe, is a vital part of the job to provide you with the most comprehensive medical care and if needed, to give you that script.

Ever walked into a pharmacy and felt overwhelmed by all of the different medicines and vitamins? 💊
Whether you’re taking prescribed medication or over the counter supplements, it’s time to question what they are for, how you are taking them and what potential side effects they have. If medicines are not used correctly, serious issues can occur. Each year 230,000 Australians are hospitalised with problems by their medicines. It is vital that your medications are reviewed regularly by your doctor to ensure they are still needed.
So next time you’re getting a script make sure you’ve got all your information. If you have any concerns or questions please pop by and see me in clinic.
Take care and stay healthy 😘
