Dr Gerard
Bulger BSc MBBS DCH FRCGP FRACGP CCFP
I was delighted to be working back in Australia April
and March 2024 and again in October and November 2024, after a break
made longer by Covid.
I have also been offering an out of hours
Telehealth services to Australians when I am back in the UK (the advantage is I will
be in-hours in the UK). This service was initiated by
the
Cannonvale Team as PocketDoctors. That service is accessed here
I had to stop this interesting Telehealth work on 2nd April 2025. I am
off to work in the Falkland Islands until August 2025 I was not
able to return to Australia within 120 days of my last stay, a
condition of Telehealth consults when out of the country.
My background
After working for decades in UK I was based in Cairns at
the Doctors Mulgrave Road between 2009-2017. I also did
did short spells at Airlie Beach and Townsville for The Doctors Group. While I was based in Australia I
started a remote medicine
career working Borroloola NT, Antarctica (Casey Station) twice with the
Australian
Antarctic Division, Falklands, Tristan Da Cunha, St Helena, Guinea
Conakry,
Deep Sea oil rig ship Gulf of Mexico to Gabon, Indonesia and
Thailand. In 2024 I worked again back on the
Falklands and I am back there in May 2025. In the UK
I worked on Yell Shetland and in
London Prisons.
I am old enough to have seen most conditions. Professional
development and keeping up-to-date includes the U.K appraisal
revalidation
system for the UK General Medical Council and the Australian RACGP
programme for AHPRA
accreditation. I prefer Australian clinical courses as they seem
tougher,
expecting doctors to manage conditions on their own, as many Australian doctors
are indeed
working in remote locations.
The
letters after my name include DCH: Diploma
of Child Health and Fellowship of UK RCGP, and Fellowship of Royal
Australian
College of GPs and CCFP, Canadian College of Family Medicine
