    Dr Susanna Petche – The trauma-informed GP linking chronic disease to complex trauma and inflammation

    In this episode, Dr Richard Fieldhouse is joined by Dr Susanna Petche to trace her diverse career path. From an innovative, arts-in-medicine GP VTS at the Whittington, through to her time as a locum GP within the Chambers model, and her later work in commissioning and medical education. The conversation pivots to her personal experience with a diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). Dr Petche now uses this lived experience and a master's in psychological trauma to teach other clinicians how common presentations like chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and resistant anxiety are often rooted in unacknowledged trauma. She offers practical, actionable advice on how GPs can become trauma-informed and empower their patients through lifestyle medicine to break the cycle of chronic stress and inflammation.

    Dr Keith Grimes – AI in general practice: what sessional GPs need to know about safety and scribes

    GP locums are on the front line of AI adoption, but inconsistent practice-level governance creates significant risk. In this conversation, Helen Holmes-Fogg (NASGP Chief Exec), digital health specialist Dr Keith Grimes, and practising locum Dr Claire Sieber dive into the practical reality of using AI scribes (AVT) when moving between multiple practices. They discuss the critical need for patient consent, the ambiguity around MDO indemnity, and how a surprising 70% of deployed digital health technology may not be fully compliant with clinical safety standards. This is essential listening for any sessional GP looking to benefit from AI while protecting their registration, their patients, and their portfolio career. Youtube edition

    Making Tax Digital for sessional GPs

    Luke Wheal, a specialist medical accountant from Azets, breaks down the monumental shift to making tax digital for income tax (MTD) and what it means for UK sessional GPs and any GP with qualifying rental income. He clarifies the confusion around staggered turnover thresholds (starting at £50,000 for April 2026) and stresses that while reporting is going quarterly, the existing self-assessment payment dates remain the same. This episode is a practical, demystifying guide to navigating the future of tax for the flexible sessional workforce and avoiding the common traps of the new digital record-keeping system.
