Why do we think they opted to move to Sydney in the first place?
What has improved that would make them want to come back?
What a total waste of time and money!!!

Gotta love their optimism. Clearly none of them have been to Oz. Swap the beach for the bogs, swap sun for sleet, swap BBQ for trafficQ, swap private practice for 7 days a week, out of hours, home visits and targets. Not bloody likely !

How patronising, to suggest somebody who is practising in Australia might need to refine their skills! I'm sure they are as well versed as GPs in Australia, only needing an update on all the ludicrous schemes like QOF, unplanned admissions DES etc.

As someone who left GP in NHS Staffs/Shropshire I have to say they'd be certifiable to return.

I wonder how much money was spent for this advertisement.
