Hosts Dr Sam Manger, Dr Ashlea Broomfield and Dr Rob Park sit down together for the very first time to introduce ourselves and briefly share our stories — from diverse backgrounds in general practice and medical education to our shared passion for advancing holistic, evidence-based care. Our trio discuss how our different experiences complement each other, what drew us into general practice, and what listeners can expect from future episodes — from deep-dives into clinical topics to candid reflections on the realities of primary care in Australia. This episode also marks the first of a series of intermittent reflective conversations, where we will revisit key themes from past podcasts, unpack lessons learned, and explore the future implications for healthcare, practice, and professional growth. Join us as we kick off this journey of conversation, banter, curiosity, and reflection — bringing together the art and science of being a GP in today's evolving world.
