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 Dr John Scott. 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.Your doctor will ask for your consent prior to your appointment if a medical student is to be present.

As of January 2012 Dr Nick Hinds joined the practice as part of the R.A.C.G.P Fellowship program. Nick is interested in all aspects of general practice including preventative health. He graduated from the University of Queensland in 2008 and spent most of his time training in Rural Queensland. He completed his residency at Nmabour General Hospital before embarking on a career in general Practice in 2011.

Nick married his wife, Courtney, in 2007. He tries to keep fit by cycling, running and swimming.
