Silky Oaks Medical Practice

📣 Meet Dr Charlotte Ramin – Our New Registrar at Silky Oaks Medical Practice!

👩‍⚕️ What’s a GP Registrar – and Why Are They So Important?

At Silky Oaks, we’re proud to be a teaching practice — shaping the next generation of GPs through the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program.

But what does that mean for you as a patient?
🩺 GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who have completed their hospital training and are now specialising in general practice. They consult independently, are closely supervised by senior GPs, and bring energy, up-to-date knowledge, and extra time to listen and care.
This month, we’re thrilled to welcome our newest registrar — Dr Charlotte Ramin — to the team! Dr Charlotte will be starting on Monday, the 21st of July.
🌟 Dr Ramin graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland and has worked in a variety of hospital settings across Brisbane and overseas. Her experience spans emergency medicine, general medicine, gastroenterology, and women’s and children’s health — she recently completed the Graduate Diploma in Child Health Program to strengthen her skills in paediatric care.
Charlotte has a kind and curious approach to medicine, and a genuine passion for working in partnership with patients and families.
At Silky Oaks, we believe training the next generation of doctors isn’t just a responsibility — it’s a privilege. When you see a registrar like Dr Ramin, you're not only in excellent hands, you're also contributing to the future of Australian general practice.
💙 Please join us in welcoming Dr Charlotte to the team!

🌸 Introducing Hormone Harmony – A New Health Assessment for Women 🌸

With Dr Eleasa Sieh, Silky Oaks Medical Practice
Have you been feeling “off” but can’t quite put your finger on why? Fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, disrupted sleep — these might not just be life stressors… they could be signs of perimenopause or menopause.
I’m excited to share that we’ve launched a dedicated Medicare-rebated health assessment to help women explore these changes in a supportive, holistic way. 💬💗
✨ Hormone Harmony is our new program designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body — and what you can do to feel like you again. It includes:
🔹 A comprehensive GP-led assessment (Medicare rebates available)
🔹 Space to talk about your symptoms, hormones, and options
🔹 The opportunity to work alongside our Women’s Natural Health Provider, Zorica, for integrative care if you're interested
Together, we’ll develop a personalised plan that might include lifestyle changes, natural therapies, medical support, or a mix of it all.
You’re not alone in this — and you don’t have to “just push through”.
