Recently, I have been in Muswellbrook working in both the GP clinic and in the emergency department.

Testimonials:
“I would strongly recommend Wingham Family Health Clinic to any GP Registrar. I have been part of the practice from GPT1 through to Fellowship and beyond, which is a statement in itself. Throughout my training I had access to friendly, accessible and knowledgeable supervisors supported by excellent nursing and administrative staff. The scope of exposure for exam preparation was ideal and the variety of work allows for exposure to procedural skills in a supportive environment. The level of experience of the senior staff is extensive and advice is easily accessible at any stage of your training. A wonderful, community clinic that is well-respected and supportive of Registrar learning on both a personal and professional level. ” – Dr Nicole Jackson
“I have worked at WFHC as a first term registrar and as a GP. The supervision and training I received was second to none. There is ample opportunity to learn and practice procedural skills. The demographic in Wingham offers GPs and Registrars the opportunity to practice everything from antenatal care to palliative care with so much in between. The staff at WFHC are the most professional, caring and fun team to work with. Anyone who works here can expect to be busy, challenged and well supported.” – Dr Trisha Fowler
