Dr Prakash Pattnaik

To be able to better understand the way the RACGP state council works and what way we as Fellows can contribute to better working and effectivity of the college.

Listen to the issues affecting members and find ways better care can be delivered to the community, so we can have a healthier and fitter Australia.

Better work–life choices and flexibility, and the ability to work better with the community at close quarters and make an impact on health dynamics.

As a New Fellow diagnosing a disease, explaining the consequence of the disease and how best to manage a chronic disease and seeing it make a huge difference to my patient, their happiness and smile.

Be patient, kind; listen to your patients; try to be in their shoes.

I’m an avid gardener and love the great outdoors.
