RETIRED local GP Dr Kate Davey will be the guest speaker at the Wangaratta Women in Leadership Breakfast on Friday, March 10.
When Dr Kate Davey arrived in the North East in 1983 she was one of just two female GPs working in Wangaratta, and among only four in the wider region.
Along with Ely Street's Elizabeth Perry, she quickly discovered there was an unmet need for female doctors in the area.
"Because I've always done on–call work, I saw a lot of men, as well as women who were seeking a female doctor, so I have a very diverse demographic of patients, and I still see the children of people I saw when they were children," she told the Wangaratta Chronicle just before her retirement from Ovens Medical Group.
Dr Davey was associated with Ovens Medical Group since 1983, she is a fellow of RACGP and Melbourne Medical School Academy of Clinical Teaching.
