Tea Tree Surgery Upgrade - September 2017
|
The upgrade of Tea Tree Surgery is now complete. The surgery has been completely repainted and new carpet has been laid.
The vertical blinds in the consulting rooms have been replaced with opaque tinting. This gives our consulting rooms more light and a spacious feel. 
|
A new purpose built treatment room for small procedures has been completed. This will add to the services already offered by our mole scan clinic.
Waiting area

We have also tried to modernise the surgery by updating our art work. A small selection is below. Please feel free to offer your opinion to our staff and doctors about what we have tried to achieve.

Farewells and Welcomes – July 2017
Registrars
After spending the last 6 months with us we sadly say good-bye to registrar Dominique Baume who will be leaving us at the end of July. We wish her every success in the future with her exams and future placements. Dominique has certainly been a wonderful part of our practice over the past 6 months and we hope to see her back with us after she has completed her training.
At the same time we welcome Jessica Donaghue who will be joining us at the beginning of August for six months. We are also pleased that Olivia Rygorowicz and Evan McFarland have confirmed placements with us for the next six months.
Please make Jessica feel welcome and she enjoys her time with us

NBN
After considerable liaison and coordination with NBN and Telstra by our Practice manager, the NBN has finally been connected to St Agnes Surgery. It was connected to Tea Tree Surgery about three years ago. This should decrease the small number of data drop outs that we were having between our two surgeries and speed up data flow. There was some initial difficulty routing our phones through the NBN and we apologise for any difficulty you may have had contacting us during that time. There was also some difficulty diverting our phones from St Agnes to Tea Tree over the first week, so we apologise for any inconvenience this may have also caused, but all issues have been resolved. Now that we have our NBN connection out next aim will be establishing on line bookings. This should be available by the end of August. June 2017

|

At the same time we welcome new Registrars Dominique Baume and Olivia Rygorowicz who will commence consulting with in the next week and Evan McFarland who will commence consulting in March.
We hope that you will enjoy your time with us. Please make them feel welcome |
