RCGP Somewhere in Between

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, Anthony chats to Dr Amrita Sen Mukherjee (@amisenmukherjee) about wellbeing and the team discuss what mental health means for trainees and patients alike during these difficult times. You can find the RCGP’s wellbeing resources at rcgp.org.uk/training-exams/practice/gp-wellbeing. Featuring ‘Kindness Matters’ by the Mental Health Foundation.

Anthony offers his reflections on a whirlwind six months, and the team discuss the new exams proposals and how things might slowly be returning to normal. 

Note: This episode was recorded before the Prime Minister's address on Sunday 10 May.

Anthony, Hatim, Meera and Johannes discuss the latest updates on training during the pandemic, tentatively plan a podcast trailer and invite two guests on to talk about what's happening locally.

Featuring 'My Favourite Things - Covid-19 version' by Shirley Serban.

Anthony, Hatim and Meera are joined by new host Johannes, to talk through the key trainee-related topics of the week. This time, it's training during a pandemic, how to keep busy and sane during lockdown, and who has the best Covid haircut.

Featuring 'You Clap for Me Now' by Darren James Smith.

Anthony (@DrAnthonyJames), Hatim (@Dr_Hatz) and Meera (@DrMeeraKumar) go through a list of important questions that matter to trainees during the Covid-19 outbreak, give some reasons to be cheerful and welcome an international fan of the show.

After the first recording was promptly pushed aside in light of the Covid-19 outbreak, the team virtually got 'together' to go for a second attempt at an introductory episode.

Anthony (@DrAnthonyJames), Hatim (@Dr_Hatz) and Meera (@DrMeeraKumar) give an introduction to the podcast, the RCGP and what an AiT actually is, before discussing the impact of the pandemic on GP trainees.
