So, age 60, PGY37, I am about to do my first week working outside of MM1.
I've started by providing some telehealth support (3 sessions in the past few weeks) and tomorrow I'm "boots on the ground" at Goondiwindi (MM4) and I'm somehow feeling a mix of calm, a little excited and a little bit anxious.
I'm an experienced GP.
I'm sure most of what I'll see is general GP work.
I can ask a colleague for advice.
I know how to follow a Health Pathway and use a QHealth Smart Referral.
This morning I watched the swim leg of Hell of the West (annual triathlon) and it's raining for the first time in the 32 year history of the event. There is a whole world outside of my usual routine!
I am not moving from Brisbane, my plan is one session a week TH and 2 weeks a year F2F. It's time for me to give back to my country and while it's just a little something that I'm doing, I hope the something it is is better than the nothing it's replacing.
We need more hands on deck though....
Having handed over the last of my maternity leadership roles late last year, I have time to do something that's been on my heart for more than 20 years.
Wish me luck, I'll keep you posted.
