Medic makes most of city visit
The Perth-based student is part-way through her third visit to the Rose City, where she does practical work at the Condamine Medical Centre as part of her studies.
Miss Fuller was awarded the John Flynn Scholarship, which encourages medical students to spend their practical training in rural areas.
During her two-week visit to Warwick, she will stay with QCWA member Penny Campbell-Wilson.
Miss Fuller said she loved returning to the Rose City.
“I had a friend back home who came here for his prac and he recommended it,” she said yesterday.
“He said ‘I know this great place in Queensland’ and I decided to try it.
“I really like it here.
"Everyone’s so nice and friendly.”
New doctors ease the pain
WARWICK'S doctor drought may just have broken with three new doctors making a tree change to the area from the Gold Coast, effectively easing the doctor shortage that has plagued the region over the past few years.
Condamine Medical Centre vice-chairman Evan Ackermann last week welcomed Doctors Mili Djendjinovic, Jessica Pau and Bee Kho to the surgery's team.
He said the new recruits were a big asset to the surgery and the community as a whole and had already started seeing patients.
"It's no secret we have had it hard for the past few years but these new doctors will allow us to give people some choice," Dr Ackermann said.
"Waiting times will be reduced dramatically and people will be able to have a choice of which doctors they would like to see."
Dr Ackermann said the doctors brought a large amount of experience and knowledge to the surgery and "are a great bunch".
"These doctors are quite experienced and we are really very lucky to have them here," Dr Ackermann said.
