The year it was


Once again we are nearing the end of the year, Christmas a mere 3 days away! While its seems the year has flashed by, once I reflect on the changes that have occured at RRM this year January 09 seems a distance memory.


Staff wise the practice grew this year with additional administration, nursing and respiratory scientist support. We had regular visits from Melbourne Respiratory Physicians Dr. Garun Hamilton (Hamilton), Dr. Daniel Steinfort (Horsham) and Dr. Dinesha de Silva (Portland). We are very happy that these physicians will continue to consult at RRM in 2010.


Approximately 1200 lung function test were performed this year, making it our busiest year to date. Also more sleep studies were able to be conducted with the opening of the Portland sleep centre in February 2009.


While its nice to reflect, 2010 presents many opportunities and challenges. Top of the priority list is employing an additional full time Respiratory and Sleep Physician (they are very elusive).


During the Christmas period our office will be open on all normal workdays except for the public holidays. Both the Hamilton and Portland Sleep Laboratory will be closed over January, reopening 27/1/10 and 1/2/10, respectively.


Have a wonderful, safe and happy Christmas and New year period.
