Connecting with colleagues as health practitioners with John Contreras

This episode, Kit and Alex are joined by John Contreras, a Melbourne based physiotherapist who has been working in the field for over 20 years. 

John, as well as working as a patient centered clinician, has been busy cultivating a social club for allied health practitioners to connect and have discussions about topics other than anatomy and differential diagnoses.

He is passionate about creating space where practitioners can be nourished and treated as an equal, and where learning can look and feel different. 

In this episode, emerging themes explore:

- social connection as a resource 
- sitting with uncertainty 
- failure in healthcare 
- mentoring / supporting younger clinicians 

It was a pleasure to have John in for a chat, where his experience and warm wisdom, along with his vulnerability, make for lovely listening.
