When we looked back at 2025, the numbers told an incredible story. But while these milestones mean a lot to us as a practice, what really matters is what they mean for you as a patient and community member.

80,000 Appointments

To us, 80,000 appointments represents trust, growth, and countless health journeys supported.

For you, it means:

• Proven experience: Our team has handled virtually every health concern you can imagine
• Refined systems: We’ve streamlined everything from booking appointments to coordinating care
• Community trust: Your neighbours choose us, which speaks to the quality of care you can expect

What professional health support means in practical terms

It’s the difference between wondering if that symptom is serious and having an expert assessment. It’s moving from reactive healthcare (waiting until something’s wrong), to proactive wellness planning.

3000 New Patients Joining MGPC/BGPC

Welcoming new patients into our community was exciting for us, it validated our approach to care.

For you, it means:

• Diverse perspectives: New patients bring different health experiences that help us stay current with community needs
• Enhanced services: Growing patient numbers allow us to invest in better equipment and expanded services
• Stronger community: A larger patient base means more shared experiences and peer support

When families choose to establish care with us, they’re not just booking appointments, they’re joining a healthcare community that values comprehensive, personalised care.

Two New GPs: What This Means for Your Access to Care

Welcoming Dr. Stella Panagiotou and Dr. Jayanthi Ravi to our team was an exciting milestone for us that strengthened our practice significantly.
For you, it means:

• Shorter wait times: More doctors mean better availability for both routine and urgent appointments
• Broader expertise: Access to different special interests and treatment approaches under one roof
• Better continuity: If your regular GP is unavailable, you’re more likely to see someone familiar with our practice philosophy
• Enhanced coverage: More comprehensive care options, from mental health support to women’s health

Five Beautiful Babies Born Within Our GPs and Staff Team

Celebrating new arrivals in our clinic families brings us immense joy, and is something the whole team gathers round.

In 2025, we had five babies born to 3 GPs and 2 staff members (inc. grandchildren).

For you, it means:

• Comprehensive family care: We support health journeys from antenatal care through childhood and beyond
• Continuity across generations: Your family’s health history stays with one trusted practice
• Life-stage expertise: Our team understands the unique health needs at every stage of life
• Community connection: You’re part of a practice that celebrates life’s precious moments

Expanded Nursing Team

Growing our nursing team with Deb, Sandra, Ros, and Lily allowed us to provide even better care.

For you, it means:

• Faster access: More nursing appointments available for immunisations, wound care, and health checks
• Specialised expertise: Each nurse brings unique skills, from emergency care experience to vaccine specialisation
• Enhanced support: More time for patient education and personalised care
• Comprehensive services: Better coverage for everything from travel vaccinations to chronic disease management

Dr. Allan Phillips‘ Legacy

Farewelling our founder after 46 years was emotional for us, but his legacy continues.

For you, it means:

• Established excellence: Nearly five decades of patient-focused care standards that continue today
• Deep community roots: A practice that truly understands local health needs and concerns
• Proven longevity: Confidence that we’ll be here for your long-term health journey
• Values-driven care: The patient-first philosophy that built this practice remains our foundation

What Professional Health Support Really Means for You

These numbers collectively represent something powerful: a community that values proactive healthcare.

In practical terms, professional health support means:

• Early detection: Problems caught early are almost always easier and less expensive to treat
• Coordinated care: When you need specialists or allied health services, we coordinate everything
• Personalised approach: Treatment plans that consider your lifestyle, family history, and personal goals
• Peace of mind: Having a healthcare team that knows you and your health history

Research shows that preventative healthcare can reduce chronic disease risk by up to 80%. When you see this alongside our 80,000 appointments, it’s clear our community is making smart health investments.
