Training

With the opening of the new clinic on Sydney Street the practice has reinstated its training accreditation. Dr Paul Lanham is the lead trainer with support from Drs John Scott, Bryan Palmer  and John Harris. General Practice trainees or "Registrars" are qualified doctors who are carrying out their final training to become General Practitioners under supervision. These doctors are usually with the practice for six to twelve months. The practice has also recently begun training University of Queensland medical students who are on placement from Nambour General Hospital.

As of January 2010 Dr Bronwyn Reddish joined the practice as our latest trainee. Bronwyn graduated in 2004 from the University of Adelaide. She has worked at Flinders Medical Centre for 4 years before moving to Queensland in 2008. She married her husband Daniel in 2007 and commenced her first GP attachment at Murgon in 2009.
