Qualifications

MBChB, Specialist in Family Medicine, RACGP

Education

Xisco grew up in Mallorca, a beautiful island of Spain. He studied Medicine at the University of Barcelona and returned to Mallorca in order to complete his specialization in Family and Community Medicine, the equivalent of General Practice in Australia. He continued practicing in Mallorca for two years before moving to our country. 

Experience

He is passionate about General Practice because it is one of the few specializations that treats patients with a biopsychosocial model. He knows his patients’ medical history but also likes to know who they are as a person, their families, their jobs, their hobbies… Because who we are will translate into how we manage our health. 
 
One of Xisco’s main interests is research. His final residential project dealt with deprescribing inappropriate medication in elderly polymedicated patients. Managing patients with polypharmacy is also one of his areas of expertise, along with palliative care (offering home visits if needed) and many minor surgical procedures, including ingrown toenails with phenolization, removal of skin lesions and steroid joint injections. He is also involved with the LGTBIQ+ community and can prescribe PrEP.
