Labour says it will invest up to $25 million worth of low-interest loans to grow the number of locally owned GP clinics. The president of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners, Dr Luke Bradford, spoke to Corin Dann.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has unveiled the party's first policy for next year's election - low-interest loans to support doctor-owned clinics. The scheme will offer up to 50 ten year long loans a year for doctors or nurse practitioners to open or buy into local clinics, interest free for the first two years. After announcing their policy of three free GP appointments a year, questions were raised around how our already overwhelmed health system could manage more appointments.

There are growing concerns around a possible duopoly forming in our primary health sector. General practice owners are calling out what they see as bloated bureaucracy, and are moving to form a breakaway nationwide Primary Health Organisation (PHO). GenPro chair Dr. Angus Chambers told Mike Hosking that doctors, 'see that we're heading towards the supermarket-like situation.' He said that some PHOs are good, but they are usually more local, community-driven groups. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendon has been awarded a Community Service Medal from the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners for his commitment to rural medicine.

A new digital health service is being praised, but one doctor believes it's doing more harm than good. More than 21 thousand consultations have been delivered through the 24/7 online scheme, which launched in July. Health Minister Simeon Brown says it gives Kiwis faster access to care when usual GPs are unavailable. Despite views it's easing pressure on the health system, General Practice Association Chair Angus Chambers told Mike Hosking it hasn't made any difference to staffing issues. He says it's making problems worse as it's taking doctors away from providing care for people in clinics. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since then, he's helped over 115 patients in Taupō put type 2 diabetes into remission—an achievement that's not only reshaped his practice, but challenged the conventional approach to chronic disease management. He was named General Practitioner of the Year in 2021.In this conversation, we explore what "remission" really means in clinical terms, the systems that help sustain it, and the biomarkers that shift most consistently. Glen also shares insights on the psychology of behaviour change, the risks and rewards of keto, and the real-world barriers to scaling this model across New Zealand. They also have a frank conversation of the level of knowledge that GPs have to prevent and treat the modern day health crisis that NZ (like most countries) is facing.Glen Davies: https://reversalnz.co.nz/team/dr-glen-davies/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

This episode, we welcome to the podcast, James Machin, to talk about the new edition of The Stark Munro Letters (1895) he has edited for Edinburgh University Press. About James Machin James is a writer, researcher, and editor, whose recent books include the Edinburgh Edition of the Works of Arthur Conan Doyle's version of The Stark Munro Letters (2024) and The Strange Stories of John Buchan for British Library Publishing (2025). He edited Faunus, the journal of The Friends of Arthur Machen, for over ten years, and has taught at Birkbeck (University of London), the Royal College of Art, and the University of Bedfordshire. He has recently commenced work on the Edinburgh Edition of Round the Fire Stories. The Stark Munro Letters (Edinburgh University Press, 2025) The first new edition of The Stark Munro Letters since the early 1980s Contains detailed introduction and scholarly apparatus Extensive notes explore the historical and biographical references Appendixes that collect original transcriptions of previously inaccessible archival material Ideal for students and scholars interested in Arthur Conan Doyle, medical fiction, popular fiction, autobiographical fiction, and epistolary fiction This is the first scholarly edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's epistolary novel, originally serialised in the Idler, 1894–95, and long out of print. With its first-hand testimony of the life of a doctor at the outset of his career in the late nineteenth century, The Stark Munro Letters will appeal to anyone with an interest in medical history. It is based on his experiences during the eight years he spent as a General Practitioner, before becoming a professional author in 1890. By some way the most autobiographical of Conan Doyle's novels—written at the height of Holmes's popularity—it is also the most personal in terms of presenting his worldview during his formative years, including ruminations on moral philosophy, religion, science, and evolutionary theory. Moreover, it is entertaining and incredibly vivid—a contemporary critic described the mercurial Cullingworth as ‘one of the finest characters Dr. Doyle has yet drawn'.

There's optimism the new medical school will ensure a future influx of GP specialists. Waikato University's newly announced medical school will begin construction this year, opening the doors to 120 trainees in 2028. It will focus on primary and rural care. Vice Chancellor Neil Quigley told Mike Hosking students could choose not to specialise in rural health or become a GP, but there are ways of addressing this. He says Australian institutions use selection mechanisms which, if implemented, create a markedly different workforce. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jack interviews Peter McCluskey - a full time carer and volunteer with EMERGE Australia, a support group for sufferers of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), a complex, long-term illness characterised by severe fatigue that is not relieved by rest, joint pain, multiple food allergies, dizziness, sensitivity to light, touch and sound. Peter's wife, Jen, was first diagnosed with ME/CFS in 1993. Peter outlines the struggles his wife has had to manage over the last three decades. The condition is exacerbated by medical health professionals who often believe ME/CFS is a psychosomatic syndrome. Poor and out-dated advice from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners continues to worsen the symptoms for sufferers of this debilitating illness. The advice remains in place in Australia despite changes to treatment in the UK and the US. Sufferers are often bed bound for much of their lives. They find it extremely difficult to access government support, including disability pensions and the NDIS.
