Tara Webster of CHC Medical was named North Coast Practice Manager of the Year at GP Synergy’s Seasonal Celebration and Awards Night in Coffs Harbour during December 2018.
Tara has ten year’s experience as a practice manager, including 18 months at CHC Medical.
‘At CHC Medical we pride ourselves on teamwork and train registrars with a whole practice approach,’ Tara said. ‘Our seven GPs and three clinical nurses support the delivery of excellent registrar training. This joined-up approach also generates positive health outcomes for our patients and our local community.’
On receiving her award, Tara said, ‘The local practice manager network has provided me with invaluable advice and support in my role. The whole group deserves this recognition.’
John Oldfield, CEO of GP Synergy, explained that there are 108 general practices training registrars across the North Coast. John noted the role of practice managers in maintaining accreditation, highlighting the help of the practice manager for registrars and their families settling into new towns for training.
‘If GP registrars realise what a great part of the world the Mid North Coast is, they are more likely to stay here once they complete their training,’ John said.
CHC Medical is located at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus.
