A General Practice Taster

The PGPPP offers a wonderful opportunity for Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) at the Royal Hobart Hospital to get a taste of general practice.

GPTT has entered into arrangements with the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) and the Sorell Medical Centre for RMOs to do a 3 month attachment in general practice. This opportunity is available for 1 RMO during each hospital term to work and train at Sorell. The doctor will remain employed and be indemnified by the RHH. They will join the general practice team at the Sorell Medical Centre and experience the remarkable variety and interesting work that general practice has to offer.

The Sorell Medical Centre is a leading General Practice in Tasmania with patients from urban and rural areas, with the semi-rural setting ensuring the PGPPP doctor would get a wealth of experience. The training offered at Sorell would be valuable for junior doctors going into any specialty, but especially for those interested in general practice.

For more information about PGPPP and the training offered by the Sorell Medical Centre please contact Dr Nick Cooling, Acting Director of Training.
