Your Team

Dr Kidmas moved to Tasmania over 15 years ago, first serving in the West Coast of Tasmania for 3 years before relocating to Launceston in December 2010. His basic medical training was from the University of Jos, Nigeria, graduating in 1992. He has worked in several countries, the last being Republic of Marshall Islands before relocating to Tasmania. He attained, through training and examinations, Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons of Glasgow (2001), Fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons (2002), Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (2009)

He finds working through the often undifferentiated medical problems and chronic conditions that presents to General Practice both engaging and stimulating. His interest in General Practice includes chronic diseases, childhood problems, mental health and minor procedures.

He is a casual Tutor at the Launceston Clinical School, University of Tasmania.

Dr Adam Ting will be joining us from Monday 8th January. He will be working Monday-Friday. He has a special interest in Chronic disease management, Elderly care, Sports injuries and Mens health.

My name is Dr Banya Debnath.  I completed my medical degree at University of Tasmania in 2012. In June I moved from Burnie to Launceston with my husband. We recently got married. I have just completed two years in a GP practice in Burnie. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors and travelling.

We are happy to announce that Dr Thomas has joined  our Team. Since graduating he has acquired a broad range of experience in areas such as emergency medicine, anaesthetics and ophthalmology before focusing on General Practice. His interests include spending time with family and pets, and at the beach, as well as MTB riding.

Dr Henley trained  and qualified at The Royal London Hospital and then moved to Perth WA to specialise in accident and emergency medicine followed by training in obstetrics and gynaecology. He then practised medicine in Gnowangerup, a small rural town in WA for ten years as a solo GP, where he gained his Fellowship to The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine. Dr Henley has a special interest in preventative health and helping his patients beat the battle with obesity. Dr Henley is delighted to have on board Ms Sharon King as part of his friendly team who is a qualified specialist in dietetics and nutrition. Dr Henley is also passionate about helping those suffering with depression and mental health issues. His love for trout fishing drew him to Tasmania where he fell in love with its beauty and stress free lifestyle.
