So you want to be free to explore?

Let me show you life in primary care.

Being in general practice, people often think that you just spend all your day in an office, but you can definitely choose whatever you’d like to do with your day.

So I have spent time volunteering in Papua New Guinea. 

And I regularly volunteer with a medical van delivering medical care to the homeless.

I really appreciate that in primary care you are able to choose your own time and you can decide how you want to spend it.

Having a cup of tea and a chat with patients, particularly with the homeless community actually makes a very big difference because a lot of those populations are marginalised.

Primary care really helps to open up the whole life experience of people.

In their difficult moments and in their joyful moments.

I really enjoy sharing those moments with them.

It's a privilege.

So, what do you think?
