We spy Dr Gihan de Mel shaping the future of healthcare!
Over the weekend, our very own Dr Gihan attended the 2025 RACGP Hackathon in Sydney — a space where GPs, technologists, and entrepreneurs came together to rethink and reimagine the future of primary care.
Reflecting on the experience, Dr Gihan shared:
“What struck me most over the weekend wasn’t just the innovation, but the shift in posture.
GPs leaning into disruption. Technologists sitting with clinical uncertainty. Entrepreneurs valuing nuance over speed.
That’s rare. That’s powerful.
When that kind of culture takes root, it doesn’t just produce good ideas — it changes the way we approach system-wide problems. It feels like the beginning of something much bigger.”
At Next Practice Prahran, we’re excited to see how ideas like these will shape the future of healthcare and how we care for our community.
