"Next Practice has re-invigorated my hope for healthcare, in a system under strain. The combination of a bold vision, a team with a strong sense of purpose and a desire to change, grow and give back is something I want to be a part of and share with others."
Please note, existing patients ONLY, please call the office for the next available appointment.
Dr Nicole Avard brings to Next Practice a desire to inspire and innovate. Her 17 years as
an Integrative GP has helped her to develop a wealth of experience in
understanding the patient journey and meeting people where they are at.
Dr Avard harbours a keen desire for education and research and is
looking forward to sharing the Next Practice experience with patients,
the team and training Doctors alike. She blends her private practice
with work in GP Education and Training and as being a Clinical Adjunct with the National Institute of Complementary Medicine.
