Visit to a GP clinic in the Huntingdale area, south Perth
3rd June 2015 | GP News
One of our colleagues visited a client in the Huntingdale area, south of Perth. They’re busy & looking for a couple of GPs from the UK or Ireland. This is her report: Joe’s a really lovely guy and he’s had a tough go of getting doctors in – they did recruit two GPs a few months ago but one had to return to the UK due to a family emergency and the other just wasn’t right for the clinic. I sat down with him and the practice manager for probably 2 hours discussing the...

We’ve chosen these 5 vacancies on the basis of the clients being keen and active to recruit – and because they’re busy places where you’ll settle in quickly Yanchep, north of Perth. This is a busy practice – there’s always a queue of patients – which is being extended to add an extra 4 consulting rooms. Doctors who work in this area often choose to live in somewhere like Joondalup and commute out. This gives the best of both worlds – city for the lifestyle and...

The AMC and RACGP introduced a new way of registering overseas GPs on July 1st 2014. We’ve spent the past few months understanding the system and ironing out a few wrinkles in how it works. In brief, you now have to apply separately to both organisations. The AMC handles EICS / ECFMG verification of your primary medical degree and specialist qualification (eg MRCGP – not your CCT). EICS / ECFMG is a worldwide mechanism for verification and recognition of graduate / post graduate...
