Lisa or as known to her 33k plus instagram community as Dr_mammyguthrie is a wife, mum, gaeilgeoir and emergency doctor. 

Following Lisa on social media is both educational and humorous. You might even learn the odd cupla focail too!

Throughout this chat we talk about Lisa’s early influences, where her love of the Irish language began, the impact her Dad’s stroke had on the family. We learn more about her husband Bernard and the planning that goes with their career ambitions. 

We learn more about what prepared Lisa for her current role working in the UK as an emergency flight doctor and where she sees herself next. 

We chat about encouraging more females to continue medicine to consultant level and the times where she experienced feeling like ‘flipping the desk’ moments.

Lisa encourages us to think differently about how we are comparing ourselves to others on social media.

To finish we chat NPHET, Dr. Tony Holohan v Government in terms of their communication styles and what, as a nation, we need to hear - but cautioning that people are only doing the best they can at the moment.
