The practice sees a wide range of medical concerns ranging from neonates to geriatrics. There is however a ‘younger than Victorian average’ patient population due to the demographics of the area (predominantly young families and students).
​
In general registrars work one evening per week until 8pm and one in four Saturday mornings. There is no overnight or on-call work.
​
We encourage potential registrars to contact our current registrar/s or past registrars to discuss their experiences at Andrew Place Clinic. We would be happy to provide these contact details on request.
