Loved every day on placement.

My preceptor, as well as the other practice staff, involved me and allowed me to have some

independence. Had a great time in Eidsvold.

Gayndah is quiet and unrushed, but there is a lot more to this old town than meets the eye. As the oldest town in Queensland, it also claims a murder mystery, elusive bear sightings, unusual street signs, and a whole lot of oranges (as the ‘Orange Capital of Queensland’).

Gayndah Medical Practice is a small family practice, that provides quality medical services to all members of the Gayndah Community. Their friendly practitioners and staff work together in our well appointed surgery to provide a wide range of health services including: general health assistance, skin checks, women’s & children’s health and chronic disease management. It is located within the hospital building.

Gayndah Hospital provides a range of health services, including outpatients, accident and emergency, chronic inpatient, aged care, respite care, palliative care, intense slow stream rehabilitation unit, radiology (limited) and pathology. There is a helipad onsite and a designated palliative care unit, with telechemotherapy service.

The opportunities to perform practical procedures at the

GP clinic were excellent (venepuncture, excision &

suturing).

It was a good real experience of what rural medicine is like

both good and bad. Very experience doctors who made

the experience worthwhile.

Hervey Bay is a pretty, coastal city, with a pleasant subtropical climate. Each year between July and November whales migrate here to use the safe waters as a calf nursery, and is therefore often referred to as the Whale Watching Capital of the World. To appreciate Hervey Bay at its best, take a walk along the historic Urangan Pier or stroll the flat pathways of the beachfront esplanade, dotted with seaside cafes and picnic spots, while enjoying stunning views.

Hervey Bay Hospital offers an extensive range of services including (but not limited to), 24 hour emergency department, level 4 ICU, internal medicine, general surgery, paediatrics, maternity and orthopaedic surgery.

RRM students will split their time between the emergency departments at Hervey Bay & Maryborough Hospitals.

Good exposure to procedures and resuscitations.

Awesome hands on experience.

Would recommend HBH ED. Very helpful preceptor keen on

teaching.

Every doctor, nurse and admin staff member tried to include me and teach me. I always felt very well supported and like a

real member of the team.
