GP shortage ....
On behalf of the owners of Seascape Medical Centre I am writing this post to highlight our biggest challange, Drs Shortage. All our efforts to attract Doctors to our beautiful town and making them stay doesn't seem to work. Many people are complaing and the management is blamed for not accepting new patients, but what many can't see is what is going behind the scenes.
There are basic facts:
* We have built the facility with a vision to serve our community, mainly focusing on attracting doctors to our beautiful paradise. We have the rooms but can't seem to have enough Drs.
* For the past 21 years, Dr Akram Malak has been doing his best to recruit Drs, providing supervision for young doctors and overseas trained Drs, hoping they would complete their training and stay. Unfortunately it only worked for few.
* The doctors that want to settle are forced to leave due to the lack of important facilities, such as a child care, transport, high school etc...

One of our Doctors had her 2 years old daughter on a waiting list for child care at SWR for 2 years. Her only option was for her husband to drive 2hours return trip to Port 3days/week to a child care.
Her husband who works from home, needs to go to Sydney once every few weeks, with one car he finds it hard to go to Kempsey to catch the train.
How can we expect this doctor to stay.

Due to the unforeseen circumstances, Seascape Medical Centre will not be able to take new patients until we have a full time Dr or a solution is found for our GP and her daughter is accepted into a child care at SWR. This might encourage her to stay.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
