TESTIMONIALS
What Do Our Veterans Say?
I joined PCMS at The Mandeville Practice in December 2019 as an Emergency Practitioner and I am learning a different aspect of healthcare which I was not confident in before.
I enjoy it, as it makes me feel that I am helping people, I may be the only contact they have had for weeks so being able to visit them and treat them is a positive part of my new role.
Joining Primary Care was the best career decision I have made. I am happier, I am further trained to become a more advanced practitioner and I feel I am able to give more and do more for may patients. I fully support the vision and direction PCMS has for the community we treat.
