Dr Veronica Dodemaide
Dr Dodemaide joins us as a private billing doctor from September 2024.
She graduated from the University of Queensland in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science (Biomedical) and a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy).
Dr Dodemaide undertook her medical training through the University of Queensland, completing her last two years at the Bundaberg Rural Clinical School 2012-2013, and she has worked locally since. She finished her specialist training in General Practice early 2019.
Dr Dodemaide lives in Bundaberg with her husband and 3 children. Other than being a mum, her favourite hobby is being a nerd, sitting down to a good conference or journal article and keeping abreast of the latest evidence-based medicine. She sometimes attempt to grow strawberries. She grew up with goats and is often frustrated that she can’t fit one in her back yard.
Her passion is people, and she loves being a GP because she can provide continuity of care and get to know, help and support patients better by being with them for the ‘long haul’ and knowing them as individuals. It is important for her to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space for patients, and to spend time on communication, education and preventative health care rather than ‘wait for things to go wrong’. The two areas she enjoy most are complex chronic health (often in older individuals with more health needs) and women’s health.
Dr Aneela Amjad
Also joining us this year is Dr Aneela Amjad. Dr Amjad is a full-time 1st year Registrar and will be with us throughout 2024.
