CPTH Coffee Room Curriculum: Finding the Joy in General Practice

In the Coffee Room Curriculum podcast series, we explore what it really means to build a fulfilling and sustainable career in primary care, through honest conversations with GPs, educators and healthcare leaders from a range of backgrounds and experiences.

Episode 3: Finding the joy in General Practice features Dr Kate Lowery and Dr Laura Naidoo asking what can we learn from the experiences of hundreds of doctors about what it really takes to have a fulfilling career in medicine? Together with Dr Caroline Walker we explore the patterns, pressures and lessons that emerge throughout a medical career, offering thought-provoking insights that might make you rethink how you work, what you value and what it means to be a ‘good doctor.’
