Recently PMC welcomed Dr Janine Rowse a new registrar completing her training to be a General Practitioner. Dr Rowse will work 4 days a week and is likely to be a great GP. She trained in Adelaide and Melbourne before coming to Pambula.
Since February 2011 , PMC has benefited greatly from the skills of our new doctor , Scott Finlayson. Scott is completing his training in General Practice. After training and working as an optometrist , Scott changed his career to medicine. He is a serving Naval Officer and intends to complete his GP training - he has brought property in the area so we hope he will settle here long term.
PMC has received a grant from the federal Government to expand into the adjacent premises. This will allow more services and additional space to assist our staff to teach students and registrars. We hope building will start in 2011.
In the future the area Health Service still has plans to close Pambula hospital completely when the new hospital in Bega is built. The new Liberal Government have promised to review this decision. we encourage everyone in the south of the shire to lobby the government to ensure Pambula hospital stays open.
