Dr Gerry Considine from Clare, has been awarded Rural Doctor of the Year 2020, by the peak rural medical body, the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA).
Dr Considine was presented this prestigious award in recognition of his service to his community and in particular his work in treating skin cancer throughout rural South Australia.
RDAA president, Dr John Hall, said Dr Considine was a great example of a rural doctor adapting to meet the needs of his community.
“Gerry is a really great rural doctor and has been very involved in not only caring for his community, but also advocacy, serving on the Board of the Rural Doctors Association of South Australia (RDASA), as well as RDAA,” he said.
