The Lighthouse Surgery

Lighthouse Surgery is a General Practice in Narooma on the South Coast of NSW.

We have undergone extensions and renovations to the practice in 2011 in order to meet the needs of the community and, at the same time, provide a collegial environment for teaching and training the next generation of health care professionals.

We now have residential accommodation and consulting areas for GP registrars, prevocational GPs and medical students who supplement our experienced team to provide medical services to our patients.

Coast City Country GP Training is the regional training provider for our GP registrars and prevocational GPs. The registrars have terms of six months. The prevocational GPs are on secondment from The Canberra Hospital for ten week terms.

Our medical students are in their third year at the Australian National University and their placements with us are for six weeks.

Facilities are provided for visiting specialists and allied health providers.

We have a dedicated training room with facilities for videoconferencing and telehealth consultations.

Despite all the changes, our core values remain the same. Our focus is our patients - Providing better care . . . promoting better health.

Lighthouse Surgery is welcoming and friendly. We provide treatment and medical advice to everyone who needs it, regardless of background or financial means. Ethical practices and respect for the rights of patients are central to our philosophy.

We are particularly dedicated to caring for our indigenous patients as well as those with mental health problems, chronic diseases and the frail aged.

All involved in working in our surgery, from reception staff through medical students, nurses and doctors, use best practice based on evidence and continue to develop professionally through teaching and learning within and outside Lighthouse Surgery.

Our practice is based on having highly effective management systems and procedures in place.

We value the image and reputation of our surgery. We actively cultivate an environment in which loyalty, integrity and mutual cooperation are the standard with staff, patients, specialists and everyone else who comes in contact with the practice. Creating a happy workplace with work life balance is a priority.
