Jay Cross Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi We have recently moved here from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, been in Freo for a week. Currently in a holiday let while we find a home. I am 44 my husband is 42 and we have 2 children aged 10 and 7. I am a nurse awaiting my registration to finalise and my husband is a skills trainer. We would love to meet up with people in the area as we don't know anybody yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mands Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hello, we are from then the north east too originally! but we have been here 10 years. I use to work in Freo as a nurse and have moved the last few years. you will love it in Freo. My girls are 11. & 17 but we're the same age as yours when we got here. They settled in no problem at all. We also didn't know anyone when we moved here. Everyone is really friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Welcome to WA Jay Cross! You're going to love it. Waiting for registration to come through can be a pain - my 2 weeks took 6 weeks, but sit back and enjoy the break. Just wondering where you used to work? I did GP training all over North Yorkshire, Northallerton, and locumed in Thirsk for a few months last year. We're living in Kalamunda in the Hills (not as far away as everyone thinks) with our kids 5&3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Cross Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi I only qualified in October, but got a job at York district hospital for 5 months before coming here. I trained all over though, Northallerton, Bedale, Easingwold and Scarborough!! Didn't like that journey. Are you a GP here and are you finding the work/lifestyle balance better?

Jay Cross Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi Stephanie Congratulations on getting your registration through!! They have given me a deadline and I'm desperately trying to get info from England. Lots of phone calls! Would love to meet up some time.

Danny Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi Jay, We've probably been to all the same places at different times, lol. The work life balance is amazingly better. I'm 4 months into work here and still waiting to discover it's not as good as I thought it would be, but so far it is. As a GP I have much better control of my time, have time to talk to people and do a thorough job, far less paperwork, generally nicer patients (far less demanding and less likely to complain at every little thing), and all colleagues I speak to are just happier and more helpful. I hope this is going to be your experience too. Are you going into hospital or community work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
