Ethos of the Practice
Lakelands Medical Centre is a busy, accredited, friendly, twelve doctor, family oriented general medical practice.
Started 30 years ago by Dr Baker, it has prided itself in the high quality of medical care offered to the local community. Seven of the doctors have each served this community for more than 18 years.
The doctors in this practice have a long history of working together. A partnership now 20 years old, was formed by Dr Ian Baker and Dr Catherine Mc Garvey, with other professionals joining shortly after. This has facilitated a team environment to provide continuous health care for our diverse population. All the doctors working in the practice are vocationally trained. That means that each doctor is committed to ongoing education and up grading their skills ensuring that they are providing the highest possible standard of medical care. As they work together in a team environment, allocating time each day to meet together, and engaging in both formal and informal education opportunities in the practice, they are able to assist each other if the need arises.
The practice is committed to supporting further education and has been selected as one of the training practices for the next generation of general practitioners through the GP registrar program. Two of these doctors work in our practice and after 3 years of postgraduate training and exams will qualify as a GP specialist. (FRACGP)
Not only the doctors but all staff are committed to training and attending conferences and workshops to ensure that their skills are able to support a practice committed to a very high standard of care.
