The Birth of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic

On 21 Aug 2022, I woke up to my husband, I said to him, I am not happy with what I am doing in General Practice. I have been a bulk billing GP for the last 16 years. I run 10 minute consultations, which are fast paced, in and out. I also tried out integrative medicine. I quite enjoy longer consultations, getting to know the patient for 30-45 minute consultations.

I started to think how I can change and improve my quality of service. I want to make more impact. I have dived into nutrition and lifestyle in the last 3 years. I did courses from Low Carb Down Under, Nutrition Network and ACNEM. I now want to implement what I have learnt. 
I need to see patients for longer. I want to have more time to talk about nutrition and lifestyle. I want to make a bigger impact to my patients. 

I talked to the principal doctor in my clinic (my boss), whom I have worked for, for 15 years. He is supportive of my venture. He is keen to help me set it all up. He will give me a special room for my clinic and furnish it as I wish. He will provide support with administrative staff, rooms, equipments, advertising, etc. I am now starting booking appointments from 5 Oct 2022, each Wednesdays. Patients can choose to book either 45 minutes or 30 minutes. Telehealth appointments also available Australia wide. Other times are available by negotiation.
