Description:
This busy six-doctor practice in modern purpose-built rooms in the Central Business District of Darwin offers two supervised GP terms. There is a very wide patient base including: Office workers from the CBD, Industrial workers from the wharf, Frances Bay and Winnellie, Families (including a large paediatric population) from all areas of Darwin rural areas, Armed Forces Personnel and their families, and a large gynaecological/antenatal population. A Practice Manager is employed to administer the practice.
The centre is fully computerised including patient records. Educational sessions are frequent and include tutorials, case review, and direct observation and videotape review.
Practice hours are 8am - 5pm with no evening or weekend work required (although this is available to interested Registrars at locum rates). GP Registrars work at 20-minute appointments, but after 6 weeks an agreement with the Practice Manager may move to 15 minutes. The practice likes you to arrange a tour of the practice with Kathryn Poulton the Practice Nurse, prior to starting (45 minutes). Annual leave must be approved by the practice.
