    Dr Kevin Fernando - Leveraging locum flexibility to build a global medical education portfolio

    We speak to Dr Kevin Fernando about his deliberate and successful transition from a GP partnership to a thriving, multi-faceted portfolio career. Kevin explains how a desire for better work-life balance initially led him to general practice, and how his passion for medical education became the key to unlocking a global role with Medscape. He shares practical advice on how to start teaching, the importance of surrounding yourself with mentors, and how part-time sessional work provides the necessary foundation for flexibility. We also discuss his new private practice (focused on CVRM), the luxury of time it affords for holistic care, and his thoughts on the evolving role of AI as an invaluable tool for clinicians.

    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.

    Dr Martin Brunet – The two houses: a model for effective communication and managing moral distress in general practice

    Dr Richard Fieldhouse sits down with GP, trainer, and author Dr Martin Brunet to explore the "art" of general practice. Martin shares his journey from hospital medicine to finding his "tribe" in GP, where he developed a passion for the mechanics of communication. We dive deep into his "Two Houses" consultation model—a practical way to navigate complex patient agendas—and discuss the clinical reality of burnout. Martin introduces the vital concept of "moral distress," explaining how system pressures force us away from our core values and, crucially, how "shared moral purpose" and creative self-care can help us stay resilient.

    In this essential conversation, former GP Partner and Director of Training, Dr. Sarah Coope, charts her remarkable career from a young GP with a thirst for continuity to a specialist in clinician well-being and conflict resolution.

    From burnout to balanced

    In this episode, Dr Richard Fieldhouse is joined by Dr Sarah Jacques to discuss her deeply personal experience with professional burnout, which led her to leave her GP partnership and re-evaluate her career. Dr Jacques details her transition to a balanced portfolio, combining a single clinical session per week with influential non-clinical roles in Doctors Association UK (DAUK) and the Medical Women's Federation (MWF). They explore the systemic issues driving GP dissatisfaction, the critical role of grassroots advocacy, and why uniting the entire Sessional workforce—locums, salaried, and partners—is essential to fight for a sustainable future for general practice against looming threats like the new GP contract and privatisation.
