In the remote town of Nhulunbuy, nestled in East Arnhem Land, Dr Sophie Yeates is making a profound impact on the health and well-being of her community.
As the recipient of the prestigious GPRA Dr Debbie Stach Scholarship, Sophie embodies the spirit of dedication, resilience, and compassion that the award seeks to honour.
The award celebrates the life of Dr Stach, who died tragically in a car accident in 2004 soon after completing her GP training.
It is presented annually to one GP registrar enrolled in the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program in the NT.
Winning the GPRA Dr Debbie Stach Scholarship has been a significant milestone in Sophie’s career.
