Podcasts about general practitioners

Most of Australia's GPs were born overseas and, as political debate rages over immigration numbers, regional medical clinics rely on them to keep their doors open. But the process isn't easy.

Most dentists accept that oral health and systemic health are connected. The harder question, as Dr. Reza Ardalan puts it, is what that knowledge actually changes when a patient is sitting in the chair. In this episode, Dr. Lucy Hooper, a London GP and co-founder of the prevention-first practice Coyne Medical, answers from the physician's side of the referral. Her answer keeps returning to inflammation. Dr. Hooper explains why the gut-mouth relationship runs in both directions, including lab research showing that immune cells primed in the gut against P. gingivalis can travel to the gums and drive bone loss. She is candid that much of this evidence is still coming from the lab rather than from patients. She makes the case that recurring mouth ulcers deserve a second look in a patient with otherwise good home care, since oral signs of inflammatory bowel disease can appear well before intestinal symptoms. Very few of those patients are ever asked about their mouth by the physician managing their disease. The most practical stretch of the conversation is about antibiotics. More than 90% of patients carrying a penicillin allergy label aren't allergic, according to Dr. Hooper. The clindamycin they're prescribed instead can leave the gut microbiome altered years later. Dentists see that label constantly and are well placed to question it. Dr. Hooper also shares what makes a referral letter land with a physician: be direct, say exactly what worries you, and never assume the doctor knows dentistry. She explains why she believes saliva is about to become one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine, and dentists are already the ones collecting it. Her advice for Monday morning is simple: ask one more question. Key Points Why the gut-mouth connection runs both ways, and where the science is still catching up How a questionable penicillin allergy label can cost a patient's gut health for years What recurring mouth ulcers can signal about disease beyond the mouth The open-ended question Dr. Hooper wants every dentist asking When a referral letter gets a physician's attention, and what to leave out Where saliva diagnostics is headed next Dr. Lucy Hooper is a general practitioner and co-founder of Coyne Medical, a private family practice in Fulham, London, focused on prevention, early detection, and unhurried, personalized care. A graduate of Imperial College London, she holds a Bachelor of Science, a Master's in Healthcare Law and Ethics, Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and a Diploma in Child Health. Her practice pairs traditional family medicine with advanced health screening, including genomics and biomarker-based prevention. She is a speaker at the upcoming Wellness Dental Forum 2026 and, with Dr. Hugh Coyne, teaches a continuing education course for dentists, Dentistry & Whole-Body Health.

A newly ausculted heart murmur is a common encounter in general practice, but navigating what comes next isn't always straightforward. In this episode of the Partner Podcast, Dr. Lance Visser, board-certified veterinary cardiologist, breaks down the essentials of myxomatous mitral valve disease, including staging and diagnostic criteria, the landmark EPIC trial data, and what the recent approval of VETMEDIN® (pimobendan) by the FDA for the preclinical B2 dogs means for clinical practice.Sponsored by Boehringer IngelheimThis podcast is RACE-approved for 1 hour of CE credit through August 5, 2028.

Have you ever heard of Eileen O'Connor, Australia's next saint? I recently discovered her while reading the novel Every Inch a Saint – A Novel About Eileen O'Connor, Australia's Next Saint-in-Waiting by author Kate Clinch. Eileen O'Connor only lived to be twenty-eight and was extremely ill most of her short life, and yet she founded an order called Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor from her sick bed…how did she do it? I had the privilege of interviewing author Kate Clinch and asking her that exact question in this week's episode! Kate's story is just as fascinating as Eileen's! Let me tell you a bit about Kate: Born in England, Kate has lived in Adelaide, Australia since she was six years old. She worked as a solo General Practitioner until a near death experience prompted a change of direction and inspired an enduring interest in spirituality and mysticism. Every Inch a Saint: A Novel About Eileen O'Connor, Australia's Second Saint-in-Waiting is Kate's debut novel. She was diagnosed with cancer during the process of writing Every Inch a Saint, and at that time, Eileen changed from being a fascinating, heartbreakingly inspirational historical figure to a real spiritual companion and source of comfort. In this episode, Kate shares her own journey of discovering Eileen O'Connor and the profound impact that this sacred friendship has had on her life, and how connecting with this saint can impact yours as well. I hope this interview inspires you as much as it inspired me!   Ps- if you want the link to her book, click here for the show notes. Key Learnings: 1)  Born in England, Kate has lived in Adelaide, Australia since she was six years old. She worked as a solo General Practitioner until a near death experience prompted a change of direction and inspired an enduring interest in spirituality and mysticism. 2)  Following a suggestion by someone who knew of Eileen O'Connor, Kate went to the historical home of Eileen O'Connor, which contains a chapel that used to be her bedroom. Eileen's body is buried under that room. Kate says "As I sat in the pew of that chapel, the air was electric and I knew I was in the presence of a saint." 3)  Kate describes Eileen's energy as a 'river of grace and compassion.' To connect with her energy, first begin to learn more about her. Reading books about her is a great place to start. Searching for her photos online can help you feel her energy in a powerful way too.   "Eileen O'Connor went from being a historical figure to my personal spiritual companion during the writing of Every Inch a Saint!"

There was a net increase of 21 new doctors and four General Practitioners in Clare last year. That's according to the latest Medical Workforce Intelligence Report. The Medical Council says there are now 180 doctors and 103 GPs operating here. Research & Regulatory Data Insights Manager Dr Rachael Kelly says the proportion of doctors in this county has seen little change.

The next few months might be an inflection point for GPs in England and Wales  Our strong primary care system is often credited in the success of the NHS - But changes to how that system works are currently underway. Legislation is quietly proceeding through parliament that will reorganise the way in which local care is structured, and those changes are raising concerns for GPs. To talk about how we build a stronger primary care system, and stronger NHS we're joined by: Victoria Tzortziou Brown, president of the Royal College of General Practitioners Sam Everington, a GP in East London, and a non-executive director of NHS England Kamila Hawthorne, GP in South Wales, and chair of National Academy for Social Prescribing We also take the opportunity to hear about where social prescribing fits into this new picture, and why our panel think it's important in changing the UK's health. Reading list Building a stronger NHS: an open letter from past and present presidents and chairs of the Royal College of General Practitioners

One doctor dies by suicide every three weeks, according to figures from the British Medical Association.In 2021, Dr Lalith Wijedoru left his role as consultant paediatrician in emergency medicine, to focus on supporting workforce health and wellbeing, including those working in healthcare. Given rare access to a wellbeing and recovery retreat, we hear emotional testimonies from the four groups of doctors at greatest risk of suicide - General Practitioners, anaesthetists, surgeons and psychiatrists.Their stories - of workplace bullying, isolation, fatigue and fear of patient complaints - suggest a system in which doctors are made to feel like machines, rather than human beings. The concept of 'moral injury' is also a factor - where a doctor is unable to provide the care they wish to give to their patient, due to lack of resources or system breakdown. Many doctors we hear from say they feel intense internalised pressure to do better - to work harder, and to never complain at worsening conditions. All have suffered from fear of failure, and the lack of the opportunity to decompress after traumatic events in the workplace. These stories take us to the heart of issues being faced by many or most NHS professionals - and by the ‘system' more generally.For Lalith, this sharing of difficult stories is an important pathway to recovery, even a life-saving intervention.Lalith is spurred on to talk to those who seek to help and support doctors, from charities like Doctors in Distress, founded by the brother of a doctor who died by suicide, as well as those who are studying the problem of why - and how many - doctors are dying by suicide. Worryingly, there are gaps in available data, because statistics are drawn from coroners' Preventable Death reports. In England, these are a matter for each individual coroner to decide on, so death by suicide is not uniformly recorded. Having laid many of these problems bare, what hope is there of realistic change and improvement?

What does it take to reinvent your professional identity in a new country — while still holding onto everything that made you good at your job in the first place?This episode is a story of professional reinvention:Dr Michelle Wright, a British-qualified GP moved to the Lake Geneva region 22 years ago, leaving behind a busy East London practice to follow her husband's career. Today she's a respected health communicator and educator with over 15 years on Swiss radio, co-founder and director of HealthFirst, and still practises medicine at the International Labour Organization.What I loved about our conversation was hearing how Michelle navigated her professional reinvention — building on the knowledge and skills she'd developed in general practice, weaving in her early passion as a communicator and people person, and courageously stepping into new territory as she founded a company.What we cover:What it took to leave a career she'd already established and start afresh in a new environmentHer professional reinvention: How she developed herself and her career at the intersection of her strengths, passions and a true consumer needLearning "the leadership side of things" — hiring, delegating, running a company — as someone who is, in her own words, “a doctor, not a business person”What she's most proud of over the past 20-plus years in Switzerland Listen and connect

A spike in influenza has prompted a call for GPs to bring back the infection-control measures used during Covid. That includes phone triage and separating patients with respiratory symptoms from others. The health system is already under pressure - in the past fortnight, Hato Hone St John had its four busiest days on record, while hospitals and emergency departments are also being overwhelmed by demand. Dr Luke Bradford, the President of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners, spoke to John Campbell.

A new study finds vaping by mothers could be a factor in the deaths of some babies. Otago and Auckland University researchers say in 66 cases of Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths, three-quarters of mothers had smoked and/or vaped. In half of cases involving bed sharing, mothers had vaped. General Practitioners Aotearoa Chair Buzz Burrell told Ryan Bridge vaping would impact the baby the same way smoking does. He says vapes contain more than just nicotine, and that already does crazy things during pregnancy. The study says it's not proof, but caution should be taken while evidence develops. Burrell told Bridge it's tragic, and any way to reduce it should be taken. He says while vaping's marketed as harmless, it's not. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Burnout doesn’t always look like breaking down. For many men, it looks like continuing to function, going to work, supporting others, staying productive while quietly feeling exhausted, irritable, and disconnected. In this episode, Dr Shami explores the early signs of burnout that are often overlooked, and why recognising them early can make all the difference. This conversation offers a deeper understanding of how burnout develops, not just mentally, but physically, through the nervous system, hormones, and lifestyle patterns. If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t quite explain why, this episode will help you connect the dots.

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Jon Brassey, Founder, Trip Database. Jon says he doesn't consider himself to be an entrepreneur, but a problem solver, who created the Trip Database, a medical question-and-answer service for practitioners that has been running for almost 30 years and contains over 125 million clinical articles, systematic reviews, and medical guidelines. In this conversation, Jon talks with Michael about his background in biology and how he began his career working in R&D in a cytogenetics lab in a hospital in Bristol. He eventually ended up working for the NHS and the Gwent Medical Audit Advisory Group working to transform the audit group to a clinical effectiveness group with a role of health support, to help General Practitioners to be more evidence-based or more clinically effective, and to teach GP's searching skills and critical appraisal skills. He talks about his academic research into clinical question answering and seeing the need for a service to provide an outlet for these clinical questions, which led him to develop the Trip Database, an incredibly rich resource for high quality clinical research evidence for questions that are actually asked by practitioners about their patients, not just material taught in medical school, to help them make better decisions.   The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/CuE8TdMpG34 Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tripdatabase/ Twitter: Keyword #TripDatabase #CriticalThinking #ProblemSolver #Research #DeepResearch #ResearchTools #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ClinicalGuidelines #ClinicalQuestions #MedicalLibrarian #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalResearch #LearningResources #EdTechTools #LibraryResources #InformationProfessionals #AcademicLibraries #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts

Dr. Sandy Kershaw is a General Practitioner with over 16 years of experience working at Long Bay Correctional Complex in Malabar, Sydney. Her professional background is diverse and includes working in homeless health, palliative care, Aboriginal medical health, and with the military. Dr. Kershaw unexpectedly found her calling in corrections health, where she treats a variety of inmates with different medical needs, ranging from acute to chronic conditions. Key Takeaways: Dr. Sandy Kershaw has extensive experience in diverse medical fields, and her work in the correctional system emerged from an initial locum stint that became a fulfilling, long-term career. The complexity and unpredictability of jail healthcare challenge medical professionals to adapt quickly, often dealing with emergencies and long waiting lists. Despite the harsh environment, Dr. Kershaw highlights the importance of treating every inmate with dignity and the significant impact such care can have. Dr. Kershaw values the unique medical challenges presented in a correctional environment, offering an opportunity to handle complex cases not commonly seen in regular general practice. Security protocols and the presence of contraband items significantly influence the healthcare dynamics within a prison, but appropriate measures ensure a surprisingly safe work atmosphere. Notable Quotes: "The patients didn't scare me; it was the physical environment. Shawshank Redemption comes to mind—very oppressive." "You see things you do not see in the average general practice. You see things that otherwise you only see in textbooks." "A lot of people who committed certain offenses are very often victims themselves." "It's an insane job, but it is very enjoyable. I love the medicine and the difference you can make." "Incarceration in Australia is designed to curtail the freedom of movement, not to punish through other mechanisms."

This is a brief episode, but one which we hope you will find entertaining and motivating. Listen and be motivated to "raise the lid" of Family Medicine! We thank you for listening! 

The privacy commissioner has recommended a central vetting process for GP apps, following the Manage My Health data breach. It found Health NZ and Manage My Health "failed in their responsibilities" to have adequate security controls when hundreds of thousands of medical files were stolen in a cyber attack.

Luke Bradford, President and Chair of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Lucy O'Hagan has been a General Practitioner for 30 years. She's also also a writer, speaker, playwrite, performer, colmunist and actor. 

The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists believes fewer people are receiving care than we're being told. Its new report —which looks at seven districts between 2023 and 2025— shows about 20% of GP specialist referrals are being declined. Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Mike Hosking it's down to staff shortages across the public and private sectors. She says it shows Health New Zealand isn't managing unmet need, and criticises the fact our targets-focused system doesn't provide targets for the workforce.

Episode 133 – What's new in CCDS – Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring   In this episode, I talk through the 2026 Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring of CCDS.   As a caregiver of a senior dog myself, this is a topic very close to my heart, so when these guidelines came out, I had to dig into them to get the very latest information on CCDS. Written by a group of amazing experts, including Behaviour, Neurology and Medicine Specialists as well as a number of General Practitioners, these guidelines provide a framework for diagnosis and monitoring of CCDS, highlight the challenges associated with this and look towards new developments in the future.   Have a listen as I provide you with my Top 10 Summary points of the guidelines and how they relate to practical clinical cases and what I have experienced with my own patients.   Here is a link to the Paper: Olby, N.J., Araujo, J.A., Gruen, M.E., Johnson, P., Kubinyi, E., Landsberg, G., Latimer, C.S., McGrath, S., McKenzie, B., Moreno, J.A. and Tarantino, M., 2026. The Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome Working Group guidelines for diagnosis and monitoring of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 264(4), pp.498-505.   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

We recommend the premiere episode for this season with Marcus Champ, representing Public Money, Public Good, who also presented at the NENA conference. Or listen to the NENA conference coordinator, Tiyana Jovanovic, HERE. For a slightly older episode, our interview with Mark Diesendorf explored issues referred to in this episode such as state capture of government policy. For further reading, you may be interested in Michael's blog article for Population Media Centre, which argues why large and rapidly growing populations can dilute democracy. This is explored further in my article on The Overpopulation Project: “The Planet Cannot Hold the Weight of 8.2 billion Narratives.” During the interview, Peter explains the concept of Sociocracy and its capacity to achieve consensus even with large and disperse populations. In the episode introduction, Michael reflects on his recent presentation on Degrowth at Perth's Curtin University. Aiming to engage students emotionally with Degrowth as a moral imperative, the feedback was hugely encouraging, as the below photo hopefully attests.

Are you tired of managing symptoms without ever finding a cure? I sit down with Dr Jen Draper, a former General Practitioner with 30 years of experience who walked away from a thriving clinical practice to redefine what "healing" actually means.Together, we pull back the curtain on the sickness industry and the subtle dependency model created by modern healthcare. Jen shares her personal journey recognizing that her physical pain was a direct message from her body that she was on the wrong path.Key Information 01:29 Jen shares her journey with pain and excessive weight, mirroring her emotional state. 04:49 Jen shares her personal struggle and realization that the pain in her feet was a somatic metaphor: every step she took into her high-stress clinic was a step on the wrong path and healing only began once she stepped away06:21 Both former medics discuss the difficulty of relinquishing the prefixes of Dr or Nurse when your entire self-worth has been layered on top of a professional persona since childhood16:00 Jen offers a cynical yet candid look at Continuing Professional Development. She describes how pharmaceutical companies influence medical education and how doctors are often trained to switch patients from one form of chemical dependency to another26:03 The conversation shifts to a specific nutritional approach that challenges Western medicine. Jen explains why she stopped prescribing expensive compounded supplements in favor of bioavailable copper, magnesium and the emotional willingness to let go34:54 Jen argues that the current system encourages us to outsource our health to experts, whereas true healing requires taking radical self-responsibility and trust your own body's intuition41:58 A provocative look at why preventative care can actually be a nanny state tactic that keeps the nervous system in a state of constant reactivity and fear, often leading to false positives and unnecessary treatments49:54 Jen describes a startling experiment using a magnet to detect iron filings in fortified cereals and multivitamins, illustrating how the sickness industry may be contributing to iron toxicity under the guise of nutritionReady to stop being a patient and start being your own healer? Dr Jen's Bio Dr Jen Draper is a former medical doctor with nearly 30 years of clinical experience who chose to leave the conventional healthcare system after recognising the subtle dependency model it creates.After decades of prescribing within a system structured around symptom management, she began asking a deeper question. Why are intelligent, capable adults becoming lifelong patients of their own patterns?Today, she is the founder of Well Being Holistic, the creator of The Insourcing Method™ and The Unpatient Way™, and the author of UNPATIENT: How to STOP Outsourcing Your Healing and Rebuild Self Trust in a World That Profits from Your Disconnection.Her work helps high performing professionals recalibrate nervous system conditioning, reorganise survival based identity structures, and reclaim regulated clarity.Her approach integrates nervous system science, subconscious restructuring, and Human Design™ as a mirror for self recognition rather than a belief system.She is known for her grounded authority, clinical precision, and calm clarity. The doctor who left the system and built a better one for those it left dysregulated.Her core message is simple.You do not have a mindset problem.You have a nervous system that learned to survive instead of lead.Connect with Dr JenWebsite: https://wellbeingholistic.net/ Facebook Group Courage to Conquer: https://tinyurl.com/couragetoconquerFacebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/drjen.wellbeingholistic/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjen.wellbeingholistic/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjen-wellbeingholistic/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drjen.wellbeingholisticYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wellbeingholistic

Can you really build muscle on a plant-based diet? Is meat actually necessary for strength, or is that just a story we've been told? In this episode, Shawna sits down with Dr. Minil Patel to break down the science, culture, and myths surrounding plant-based nutrition, strength training, and masculinity. Dr. Patel shares his personal journey from being, in his own words, “the least vegan person” to going vegan for ethical reasons after questioning why we care for some animals while eating others. That realization sparked a deeper interest in plant-based nutrition, performance, and lifestyle medicine, and ultimately shaped both his medical practice and public advocacy. In this episode: Whether plant-based diets can support muscle growth and strength training The cultural link between meat consumption and masculinity Common myths about protein, muscle, and vegan nutrition How misinformation spreads online, and how to evaluate nutrition claims critically What it really takes to thrive on a plant-based diet as an active individual About the Guest Dr. Minil Patel is a UK-based General Practitioner and Lifestyle Medicine Physician with a special interest in plant-based nutrition and strength training.

The city of St. Petersburg held great significance to the Russian Empire when Peter the Great first built the city in 1703. It was intended to be Russia's "window to the West" and usher in Russia's place as a modern European power. It also replaced Moscow as the capital of the growing empire that stretched across two continents. It was also the site of the Russian Revolution, when the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin seized power in 1917. Subsequently the city was renamed Leningrad in honor of the founder of the Soviet Union.  During World War II (1939-1945), the city would play a critical role as an unconquerable fortress city that withstood years of siege with the explicit intention of starving its inhabitants into complete submission to Nazi Germany's war aims. The epic story of this saga is the subject of Prit Buttar's To Besiege a City: Leningrad 1941-42 (Osprey Publishing, 2023). Relying upon extensive research into both Soviet and German sources, Prit Buttar chronicles the first few years of the siege in great detail. Prit Buttar is the author of ten critically acclaimed books. His most recent publication was Meat Grinder: The Battles for the Rzhev Salient, 1942–43 (Osprey, 2022). Prit originally studied medicine at Oxford and London before joining the British Army as a doctor. He latterly worked as a General Practitioner for several years. He now writes exclusively from his home in rural Scotland where he can also indulge his hobbies for wildlife and astro photography. Learn more about your ad choices.
