That feeling when 7000+ GPs have downloaded your podcast episode ... and it was never meant to be a podcast.
It actually started with a simple conversation.
No script, no prep - no questions sent beforehand.
Just sharing thoughts and experiences with my colleagues.
And honestly, that’s probably where the most meaningful learning happens.
What’s surprised me most hasn’t been the number - it’s been the messages:
“I thought I was fairly across GLP-1 prescribing but definitely some great pearls in there”
“I couldn’t stop listening... went down the rabbit hole of your other podcasts - please do more!”
“So relevant to general practice - I’ve already implemented this in my consults”
That’s the part that really stuck with me.
Because it’s a reminder that we don’t always need perfectly polished education. Sometimes, we just need real conversations.
The kind that reflect what actually happens in our consult rooms.
The kind you can listen to, in between patients, on the drive home, or late at night after a long day.
Maybe this is part of a bigger shift - towards learning that is more accessible, more flexible and grounded in real clinical practice.
I’ve never thought of myself as a ‘podcaster’ or a ‘speaker’.
I’m just a GP, sharing what I’m seeing and learning along the way.
This week, that episode passed 7,682 GP downloads, and I had a quiet moment to reflect on that.
Not because of the number itself, but because of what it represents.
My colleagues, choosing to learn, in their own time.
To reflect, to do more for their patients.
And yes, this little something special arrived in the mail this week - still a bit surreal. Thank you for the General Practice Education Impact Award 2026.
Feeling very grateful ... and excited to keep sharing more of these conversations.
