Dr John Endacott

Dr John Endacott is a highly skilled Geriatrician who provides exceptional care for older patients at Noosa Hospital. With his extensive experience, Dr Endacott is available for inpatient care, outpatient care, and restorative care programs in day services, as well as a Residential Aged Care Facility (RACF) visiting service for Comprehensive Geriatrics Assessment and Management.

Dr Endacott's passion for caring for the elders of the community was ignited when he worked as a Nursing Assistant in a nursing home while at university. Now, as a graduate of Monash University and with extensive training under his belt from The Alfred in Melbourne, Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, and Nambour Hospital, Dr Endacott's experience and knowledge is evident in his holistic approach to patient care.

He spent 12 years working as a consultant Geriatrician with the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS), where he worked with acute, sub-acute, and community-based teams in Geriatrics service. In 2012, Dr Endacott was appointed as the Clinical Director for Community Integrated and Subacute Services with the SCHHS, opening up opportunities for him to participate in multiple local, state, and national forums for health service planning and improvement.

Dr Endacott values his past experience as an "area-of-need" General Practice registrar in Cohuna, northern Victoria, as a clinical and personal experience that still impacts him. He has insights, and an interest in connecting care across the health system from primary care to hospital care and into the community, where social networks become vitally important in maintaining a patient's sense of connection and well-being.

When not practicing medicine, Dr Endacott has an interest in Arts Health, particularly where the arts can be used powerfully to explore issues about ageing, frailty, and the end of life. Dr Endacott loves spending time with his son, is a dodgy musician (mostly guitar), and an even dodgier surfer.

Dr Endacott accepts referrals via Medical Objects and has a provider number of 213879HK. Choose Dr Endacott for exceptional care, tailored to the patient's needs and values.
