TGPN — Practice Profile

Fulham Road Family Physicians

Background & History:

Surgery opened on the 7^th July 1981 in the then developing suburb of Heatley on the western side of Townsville and provides services to patients from the Townsville and Thuringowa areas. We are AGPAL Accredited.

Practice Philosophy

• The patient is the most important person on our premises.
• They are not dependent on us,
• We are dependent on them.
• They are not an interruption on our work,
• They are the purpose of it.
• They are not an outsider on our business,
• They are part of it.
• We are not doing them a favour by serving them,
• They are doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.
