Cairns West Medical Centre is a small General Practice, with two General Practitioners, and three Registered Nurses.

Cairns West Medical Centre aim to address our patient's physical and mental health needs, both in getting and keeping well. We do this by adhering to best practice principles.

We are not a large practice and this allows us to provide personalised care with continuity, for both families and individuals, and to liaise with other health professionals in our surrounding area.

Cairns West Medical Centre is a small Family-Orientated General Medical Practice privately owned by one of the doctors regularly working in the clinic.

We are not affiliated with any other medical company and remain completely independent.

Small General Practice is being attacked by many angles, but continues to provide high quality medicine at minimal cost to both the patient and the government. It seems GPs are expected to only work in larger clinics controlled by business, making ongoing one on one doctor – patient contact very limited, and more easily “controlled” by new political pressures.

Larger practices pretend to offer “economy of scale” but any extra financial gain is not passed on to the treating doctor or the patient, with a third party business person collecting additional profits.

Small general practice continues to offer continuity of care from doctor to patient in a way no other practice can offer.
