Shingles is more common than people think, & it can be incredibly painful.

✔ 1 in 3 people will develop shingles in their lifetime
✔ Caused by the same virus as chickenpox
✔ Risk increases as you get older

The Shingrix vaccine helps protect against shingles & its complications.

It’s free under the National Immunisation Program for:
• People aged 65+
• Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people aged 50+
• Eligible immunocompromised patients

Speak to your GP or nurse during your next appointment to see if you’re eligible.

Meet the Team Monday 👋

This week we’re introducing Dr Jamie Fernando, GP Supervisor & Practice Principal at FTMC Group.

Dr Fernando completed his medical degree at the University of NSW in Sydney & has been caring for the Forster community since 2009.

Originally from Gulargambone in regional NSW, a small town with only a few hundred residents, Dr Fernando now enjoys the coastal lifestyle with his family here in the Great Lakes area.

Outside the clinic, you may spot him on the touch footy fields this winter, with sport still a big part of his life.

Dr Fernando enjoys all aspects of general practice & has particular interests in:
• Preventative health
• Skin cancer medicine
• Paediatrics
• Sports medicine
• Indigenous health

📍 Dr Fernando consults at Macintosh Medical Centre on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays.

Meet the Team Monday 👋🏽

This week we’re introducing Dr George Castillo, Practice Principal & GP Supervisor at FTMC Group.

Dr Castillo first moved to Forster as a GP registrar in 2011. What was meant to be a temporary move quickly turned into something more permanent.

While out for a run over the bridge one day, he decided he’d take it as a sign, if he saw dolphins, he’d stay in Forster.

Sure enough… dolphins appeared 🐬

Dr Castillo decided to stay, & has been caring for the Forster Tuncurry community ever since.

Luckily for the community, he didn’t know there are always dolphins under the bridge…!

Dr Castillo’s special interests include:
• Neurology
• Children’s health
• Skin cancer
• Aged care

📍 Dr Castillo consults out of South Street Medical Centre at Suite 4, 10-12 South Street Forster on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays.

☎️ 02 6555 0444
