‘Treating my patients like family. Wise words from an old master, which I practice daily’. With experience from 4 continents in medicine (Medical, Surgical, Emergency, ICU medicine, volunteer work and General Practice), Aadhil Aziz is uniquely positioned and a part of the revolution to make the world a better place - and a huge proponent of, genuinely, ‘Universal Healthcare’. A pre-covid advocate of telemedicine and its benefits and limitations on how to help spread health awareness even further. He is also business owner of a GP clinic as well as the newly elected Chair of the New Fellows Committee of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Aadhil has a broad interest in General Practice - ranging from Mental Health to Chronic and Complex Disease management, Obesity and musculoskeletal, women’s health and skin cancers medicine as well as interests in adult and paediatric medicine. He pays a special interest in ‘paying it forward’.. often staying back to help patients in need.. so that they may in turn, one day, help someone else.
