Four GPs from across New Zealand share what brings them joy in their work and how they go about ensuring joy is part of their day.

Hear from GPs what brings them joy in practice and what they do that helps create joy in their work. It’s all about people and connections.

Grace, Kenneth, Graeme, Wiki, and Sharon share what brings them joy and what they have done to allow a sense of play into their lives as GPs.

Recorded during the NZMA GPCME in Rotorua 2019 six New Zealand GPs share their tips on how to nurture joy in General Practice. It’s about being reflective, developing the skill of applying compassion in daily work, and creating the time to care not only for our patients but for ourselves.

During a Wilderness Medicine student led educational event on Mount Holdsworth Dr Jo Scott-Jones chats to undergraduates about what would motivate them to consider a career in rural medicine. It’s fascinating to hear how their vision of what it can be like aligns with the lived experience of doctors expressed in previous episodes. It’s also a challenge for us to work out how we can build on the drivers to attract more people to this awesome career - not just in rural areas but across the country.

Dr Jo Scott-Jones chats to colleagues met in Wellington airport and at the Auckland RNZCGP Faculty AGM about what floats their boats as GPs. Amongst the highlights Dr Chris Reid talks in this episode about being the global safety officer for SailGP, and Prof Bruce Arroll about helping people to unstick. Many thanks to them and to Greg, Tina, Tane and Margaret for sharing their joy. Celebrate May 19th World Family Doctor day by rating, subscribing and sharing this podcast!
