I chose general practice because it involves my favourite elements of medicine – diagnostic challenges, holistic health and long-term patient relationships,” Dr Ovington said.“What I have enjoyed most about GP training has been getting to know my patients and the great variety in the work. Looking after babies and the elderly, managing emergency presentations and chronic diseases and everything in between keeps my days very interesting! I feel very lucky to have won this award and am grateful for my supervisors, GP colleagues and study buddies for all the support they have given me during my GP training.
