Home > Dr Brett Mann retiring
February 2nd, 2025
We are very sad to see Dr Brett Mann leave our team but wish him all the best for the next chapter in his life. Brett has made a positive impact on many many patients lives over his 39 year career. His last day was 30th January 25. He will be greatly missed by both our staff and his patients alike.
Here is a message from Brett.
I am retiring from my role as a General Practitioner and partner at Ilam Medical Centre. After thirty-nine fulfilling years, I have many special memories and greatly value my time working at Ilam.
I am very pleased to hand my practice over to Dr. Vinny Karunasekera. Vinny is one of the best registrars I have taught over the last seventeen years. Some of you met him when he was a registrar for six months in 2023 and will attest to his very pleasant, easy manner, excellent communication and biomedical skills. Other practices are very keen to have him, but we are delighted he is coming back to Ilam Medical Centre, and I have great confidence patients will be very well-served by ‘Dr. Vinny’.
Ceasing clinical work will be a big life-change but I will continue providing medical education and supervision to registrars and other professionals.
Yours sincerely
Brett Mann
