Dr Sri Ram Kumarasiri, a GP Registrar, will be working side by side with the town’s two existing General Practitioners Dr Jeyakumar and Dr Balasingam.
Dr Sri has just completed 12 months working in Blacktown Emergency department. He is no stranger to Guyra, having completed his second-year medical placement at the centre some years ago, where he developed an interest in rural and remote medicine. His return to the town will enable him to further pursue this passion and learn alongside the two existing doctors.
Staff at the Guyra Medical Centre have welcomed Dr Sri with open arms. The addition of a third doctor to the practice will free up time for Dr Jey and Dr Sen who will now be able to offer longer appointments to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
Practise Manager Indrani Jeyamumar said that they are continually striving to provide the best possible services for the community.
“We have a great team here and are able to provide a wide range of health services,” she said.
“Our aim is to provide a one stop shop for health care not only when you are unwell, but also put strategies in place to assist patients in managing their own health.”
Working alongside the doctors is Practise Nurse Tracey Reeves, who works with patients to focus on heath needs including management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, heart, lung and kidney conditions.
Tracey said that immunisations and baby health checks are an important part of the care provided, allowing for the best start to life. She is also providing women’s health screening including Pap smears and Breast screening.
The centre also provides access to Specialist services through Telehealth, enabling patients to see their specialist without having to travel.
New patients are welcome and anyone wanting to transfer to the practice is encouraged to phone for an appointment.
