🧦 Today at GPcare, we proudly supported Crazy Socks 4 Docs Day – Friday, June 6, 2025 🧦
Created by Dr Geoff Toogood, Crazy Socks 4 Docs is all about raising awareness of mental health among doctors and healthcare workers, and helping to break the stigma surrounding it.
At GPcare, we grabbed our funkiest, quirkiest socks to start conversations and show our support for this important cause.
GPcare is celebrating our incredible family doctors who care for us through every stage of life. Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to keeping our community healthy.
If you see your GP this week, be sure to say thanks!

Yesterday was National Receptionists’ Day, and we want to take a moment to acknowledge the great work of our front desk team.
Reception is such an important part of general practice — it’s often the first point of contact for our patients, and the team plays a big role in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
We’re grateful for the way they manage the daily challenges of a busy practice with professionalism, kindness, and a good sense of humour.
Thank you to our reception staff for all that you do — we really appreciate you.

At GPcare, we proudly acknowledge our dedicated and compassionate nurses, who took time to celebrate with a shared lunch — a chance to pause, connect, and reflect on the vital work they do every day.
Happy International Nurses Day — we’re so grateful for the care, skill, and heart you bring to our team and community.
