    Overcoming Burnout and Building Resilience

    Discussions about burnout and resilience have become increasing common over the last ten years, particularly amongst those in healthcare. According to the NHS Practitioner Health programme, the number of doctors seeking help for mental health issues has risen by more than three-quarters within two years, with more than 5,600 doctors using the service in England in 2022/23. In addition, a recent GMC survey found that GP’s were most likely to experience ‘deep discontent’ when practicing medicine. Whilst a new BMA survey found that 73% of GP trainees reported experiencing burnout and stress as a direct result o their clinical work.  We sat down to talk about what is resilience - and is it something we are born with or can we learn to become more resilient? We also shared our personal experiences with both building resilience and overcoming burnout over the course of our careers. In my own career, burnout nearly caused me to walk away from medicine entirely as a junior doctor.

    Can the NHS be saved?

    We take a deeper dive into the NHS  and to discuss it's current crisis.  We have always been proud of the NHS and the equity of access it has offered. However, today, millions of patients are waiting to see a specialist across the UK and GP waiting times are longer than ever.  Why is it so difficult to see a doctor. Why are junior doctors striking? Why are doctors and nurses leaving the UK? Is it really just about funding or are there other factors at play?  We compare our experiences and pay as junior doctors 15 years ago, to today’s junior doctors.

    Biohacking - can we live forever?

    Biohacking - can we live forever? We sat down and asked, is it possible to live forever - and do we even want to? Today we look at the world of biohacking, the fact and the fiction, and see if there is anything we can learn to help ourselves live a longer, healthier life.  We explored the unique world of Bryan Johnson, the Blueprint Protocol and the power laws. As well as the potential dangers of some of the biohacking practices.  Preventative medicine, helping patients to identify health issues before they become a problem, was one of the main reasons I started the move towards private practice. However even in the last few years, I have seen a shift from preventative medicine towards more of a regenerative medicine approach with a key focus towards longevity.  Before we started to look into biohacking, we were quick to write it off as something that was reserved for the tech guys in silicon valley with deep pockets and questionable doctors. However, as we started to look at some of the basic premises: maintain a healthy weight, get good quality sleep, don't smoke, little to no alcohol, exercise often... We started to realise that there may be the potential for all of us to add a little biohacking to our lives.

    Oprah, Ozempic and Obesity

    We sat down to discuss the recent special by Oprah Winfrey "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution". We talked about the rise of GLP-1 medications and some of the more troubling trends that have emerged on social media as a result of the popularity and media attention these medications have achieved. We also touched on the societal perception of obesity and the use of these medications. Social media has the potential to be a force for good, in so many ways. However increasingly we are seeing that it risks trivialising something that is a serious health concern, both on a global and individual scale, whilst simultaneously creating an environment of unrealistic expectations, where rapid weight loss is seemingly promoted.  As GP's both in the private and NHS sectors, helping patients manage their obesity (and its related conditions) is something that has become increasingly part of our daily working lives. Over the last ten years, there has been a conscious effort in the medical community to reframe obesity as a disease, and as Oprah eloquently put it: "Obesity is a disease, not a character flaw"
