TESTIMONIAL

By Dr James Walker, Milton Medical Centre 

 

I graduated from my medical training in the UK in 2010 and arrived to work in Sydney soon afterwards. It’s not uncommon to hear that a UK graduate comes to work in Australia ‘for a year’ and finds themselves fully immersed in Antipodean life years later, and so it was for me. I had initially gravitated towards Emergency training and worked in the field for several years. I really enjoyed ED but I couldn’t see myself doing it forever.

​

I decided to switch to GP training, however since I had only completed seven years of the ten-year moratorium requirement, I needed to relocate to a rural region for the remaining three years. While I was initially reluctant to leave Sydney, I made the decision to move to Milton, a town a few hours south of Sydney.

​

After practicing in Milton for almost three years, I have fallen in love with the area. In fact, after my final pre-fellowship exam, I plan to continue working and living in the area for years to come. 

​

The practice at Milton is a friendly and fun place to be. I felt very supported by my senior colleagues when I arrived who guided me in adapting to Australian General Practice. Here I’ve had the opportunity to learn skills in Skin Cancer Surgery, lead Shared Medical Appointments, and develop my own patient base for routine General Practice work.

​

There is certainly a huge opportunity to see many patients in the South Coast of NSW, and to foster your own following of patients. At Milton Medical Centre, there is a lot of clinical support on site, together with a hospital just over the road and an excellent cancer care centre on our doorstep. The work is enjoyable, the team is very friendly, and you will be well remunerated for your endeavours.

​

Furthermore, Milton and the surrounding areas are incredibly beautiful. There are plenty of surf breaks to choose from, trails to run or bike, views to hike to, cafes to eat in and some 5 star restaurants to boot. South Coast GP is a fantastic choice.
