Moora Health Wins Prestigious Award

Moora Health Centre has won the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners West Australia General Practice of the Year Award. The award recognizes the outstanding work of general practices, the commitment of the practice to ongoing quality improvements; the standard of facilities offered to patients and staff; and the services offered to the local community.

The Moora Health Centre is the only primary medical facility in the Shire of Moora and services a population in excess of 3,000. As such it provides a broad range of patient services from pediatrics, geriatrics, chronic disease management, acute illness and injuries and aboriginal health.

What sets the Moora practice apart is the depth of Dr Chapman’s commitment to GP education. For over a decade, Dr Chapman has been heavily involved in the education of both medical students and GP registrars.
