23.01.2022 Currently the Derwent Valley Medical Centre is unable to accept any new patients at this time as the surgery is at full patient capacity. We are actively looking for new Doctors for the new year and look forward to welcoming new patients in February 2020. As the patient demand grows leading to Christmas, please make sure that your scripts are up to date and if you need to cancel an appointment that you give the practice as much time as possible as will have daily waiting list for your General Practitioner needs.

11.01.2022 Derwent Valley Medical Centre is under new ownership. Gonzalo and myself (Lester) have been working hard in the background to meet the changing healthcare needs of the Valley. We just want to let our community know what we are working on: 1. Shorter waiting times and more doctors... We have confirmed 5 more locally trained, Aussie doctors to join us in the next few months and new year! Our waiting times are down to within a few days and with more doctors joining our team we expect this improvement to continue. 2. Renovations We have taken over Dr Peters old rooms and have put in an application with the Crown to renovate this area for more consulting rooms. Once complete, this area will be named Peter's Wing out of an abundance of respect to Dr Ralph's enormous contribution to the community. 3. Skin Cancer Clinic As some of you know, I hold post graduate qualifications to diagnose and treat skin cancers. So far all of my patients have been word of mouth. We are aware of the ever-growing concern and need for specialist skin cancer services in the Derwent Valley and are responding by a large personal investment in equipment to facilitate an skin cancer clinic. We will get this up an running soon and let you know. We have appreciated all the feedback so far and will do our best to serve the community through the medical centre and district Hospital. Best regards, Lester and Gonzalo
