Grange Road Medical Services

19/09/2025

Please welcome Dr Ankit Gurung who has joined the Grange Road Medical Team this week.

Hey, I’m Ankit
I was born in Kathmandu in the autumn of 1989. I completed my medical degree in 2013. In 2017, I moved to South East London, where I worked in hospital medicine, covering acute and general internal medicine. This was until I discovered my true passion in primary care and have since dedicated myself to General Practice.
I have a wonderful wife and a five-year-old boy. Outside of medicine, I enjoy travelling, reading, exploring manga, and pretty much anything geeky.(you name it )
My motto in life is simple: “Trust and faith.”
I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with my patients and supporting them with care that truly fits their needs.

Please Welcome Dr Owen Hawksworth.
I have always been connected with the Ipswich area. After completing high school here, I moved to study in Brisbane before returning to work at Ipswich Hospital. After 7 years in the hospital I have finally made the move to Grange Road Medical.

My interests cover all aspects of general practice, particularly skin checks and acute medicine/urgent care.

I am a father of one and when not working I enjoy climbing, diving, and playing the guitar.

Please Welcome Dr Ben Hearne to the Grange Road Medical Team.

Ben was born in Ipswich Hospital and grew up just outside Ipswich, however, not this Ipswich but the Ipswich in the UK! This is perhaps why he feels so at home here; he arrived from the UK at the beginning of 2025 on New Years Eve celebrating this new life in Australia with his wife and 2 children.
He left Ipswich in the UK in 2006 to study Medicine at the University of Sheffield. After graduating as a doctor he did various Medical Specialities including, Care of the Elderly, Ear Nose and Throat Surgery, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Women’s Health. Ben completed 5 years of Anaesthetic Training, but decided he preferred talking to patients rather than putting them to sleep. He switched to GP training and has not looked back.
When Ben is not at work, he is spending time with his family and finding adventures around Queensland, experiencing nature in all its beauty in this incredible part of the world. He is always keen to hear suggestions of great places to see and visit.
Areas of interest include:
- General Medicine
- Skin checks
- Men’s Health
- Musculoskeletal Medicine
