He believes that to deliver quality medical care in the best interests of his patients, it’s essential to operate with the highest standards of integrity. Practicing health care in a manner requires Lachlan to consistently demonstrate kindness, gentleness, and care for his patients at all times, in a relaxed and accommodating atmosphere.

He believes the true reward in general practice lies in the unique opportunity it affords you for continuity of care throughout many generations and over many years, as what patients would refer to as “my family GP”.

Lachlan Soper has a special interest in minor operations such as skin cancer excisions, repairing skin lacerations, removal of foreign bodies, Implanon contraceptive insertion etc and sporting injuries. He particularly enjoys the mix that he has in sub-acute, chronic, and family care at the local surgery, combined with his rural hospital work which keeps his skills sharp at the pointy end of medicine.

In his free time, he regularly participates & competes in many sports and games, including cycling, touch football and tennis. 

As an avid cyclist, Lachlan Soper enjoys spends much of his free time cycling through his community and country.

He also appreciates that cycling affords him another way to stay active and healthy for his family—it even provides another way to spend time with his children.
