Our boss lady! 🥰

Dr Laura has many patients with formally diagnosed ADHD ranging from children to adults.

So, when the recent changes came into effect allowing GPs to better support and care for their patients with ADHD, Laura was keen to come on board.

“I decided to do the training because these changes could potentially remove an extra step for my patients in ongoing access to their medication.

“A lot of my patients, who I have known for many years, tell me their preference is to see their GP, a long-standing source of trust and support, for all their ongoing prescriptions. It’s wonderful to be able to offer this for their ADHD medications as well.”

GP’s who complete approved training can continue prescribing ADHD medication for eligible patients and make minor changes to medicines without needing repeated patient reviews from a relevant specialist.

“In my practice we invest in relationships with our patients, so we get to know them well. This means we know their ADHD and other components of their medical history, inside out.

“By being able to offer ongoing ADHD prescribing to my patients who remain stable on treatment, I can manage their health even more holistically, while monitoring for possible drug interactions or side effects under the one roof of their family physician.

“We also support for our patients beyond medication by offering lifestyle strategies, practical tools and ongoing encouragement that make sense in the context of their everyday lives.

“I am so happy to be part of this initiative, which will hopefully help people with ADHD to access the treatment they need in a sustainable and timely manner”.

Well hey there John! 👋

John’s journey to TKYC is a little unconventional. He spent 14 years as an Olympic swimming coach, guiding athletes to nine Olympic medals and seven world records. From there, he moved into the world of design and innovation, working with high-pressure teams across healthcare, emergency response, and national security.

His superpower?🦸‍♂️ Helping brilliant people perform at their best without burning out.

At TKYC, John is the engine room behind the scenes. He helps keep our systems smooth, our team supported, and our practice aligned with our purpose. He’s endlessly curious and brings big-picture thinking to the smallest operational details.

John is also a dad of two young kids, an under 10 soccer coach, and a keen ice hockey fan.

He believes that the best systems are human-first, and that great care starts with great culture. 💫

Welcome John! 👏

We have another pea in our pod, and to say we’re excited would be an understatement! Lucy’s contagiously positive attitude and genuine empathy makes her a wonderful addition to team TKYC. We are so lucky to have her! Make sure you say “Hi!!” to Lucy the next time you swing past TKYC!

You know we hate having to do this, but we've worked hard to keep the out-of-pocket cost the same to you.

We charge for our time (which you get more of) and set our fees at what we need to cover wages and the cost it takes to keep our doors open. Running a small business is a constant state of making sure there's enough in the bank to keep going. And sometimes it gets pretty close to the wire.

Thanks for your ongoing support of our labour of love.

Team TKYC ✌️

Having trouble finding us? 🗺

Don't stress, you've got this. All you need to do is:

📍 From Strickland Cres, turn into the driveway of John James Hospital. The building at the front, visible from the street, is the Peter Yorke Building. You're close!

📍When you've parked, walk to the side of the Peter Yorke Building that faces *away* from the street. You'll see the blue sign, pictured here. You're getting warmer!

📍When the blue sign is directly in front of you, turn right. That's the entrance to the Peter Yorke Building. Come through the glass sliding doors. You'll see Canberra Imaging Group in front of you, and the lifts are on your left. You're getting HOT now! 🔥

📍When you're in the lift, you want to head up to level 3. When you step out of the lift, you'll see TKYC HQ in the right-hand corner. You DID IT!!!

Now just come on in, and get comfy. We'll take it from here! 🫖 ☕️
