#GeneralPractice trainees/#First5s & their Japanese counterparts at @RCGPAC as part of the Dr Kaizen Project (a collaborative QIP). Kaizen means “good change” & represent a way of life & many small improvements that add up over time.

Drs Yaarthi & Ritish Lutchmun were former students of mine in the first batch of @UniOfMauritius -@ImperialSPH MPH program 10yrs ago. Yaarthi has since taken on important roles incl. Med Unit Dir @ Ministry of Social Security, #Mauritius Med Council Chairperson & #WHO officer.

Great to meet one of the doctors working in a Medi-Clinic in #Mauritius. She will see approx. 40 patients in a session (approx. 3 hrs). That's about 4.5 mins per patient. What should be a safe level of patient contacts per day? #globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #TeamGP #First5s

Esha & I talked abt the state of women’s health in #Mauritius, incl. having an organised national cervical/breast CA screening programme & improving access to a wide range of HRT & contraception. #GeneralPractice trainees & #First5s can hear Esha's story in an upcoming webinar.

I met with Dr Esha Gopee-Beharee, an Australian-trained #familymedicine doctor with a special interest in women's health. She recently returned to #Mauritius to set-up a much-needed clinic. Family med is a new concept here & has yet to be incorporated into its health system.

I embarked on a 1.5h bus trip to meet a #familymedicine doctor in Ebene, just south of the capital, Port Louis. The bus is a great way to experience the country, interact with people & hopefully learn some lessons from encounters. #globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #RCGP

Visiting #Mauritius to see efforts to improve #primarycare. Grateful to be on national radio (NRJ Maurice) today & make a brief mention about healthy lifestyles.#globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #RCGP #TeamGP #First5s

#GeneralPractice roots are in the community, & it was good to hear from @AngelaRayner about the importance of achieving meaningful & lasting change in our communities.

Good to meet ⁦@wesstreeting last week to hear Labour’s plans for #generalpractice. #NHS #primarycare

Today is World Family Doctor Day highlighting the role & contributions of family doctors in health care systems globally. #globalprimarycare #PrimaryCare youtube.com/watch?v=cRhp3026…

Great opportunities to interact with #GP/fam med Drs this yr/next yr: @rcgp Annual Conference (19-20 Oct, Glasgow) @BJGPjournal Research & Publishing Conference (22 Mar 2024, London) @eyfdmForum Forum (12-13 Apr 2024, Vienna) @WoncaEurope Conference (25-28 Sept 2024, Dublin)

It was a privilege for @RCGPJIC to visit the British Embassy Brussels (@UKinBelgium) & celebrate with colleagues from around the world our joint achievements as well as aspirations to develop #familymedicine/#generalpractice & improve patient care. #globalprimarycare #primarycare

Important to hear about migrant care from GPs/family medicine doctors including @RCGPJIC GP Dr Charlotte Morris at @woncaeurope2023. #globalprimarycare #PrimaryCare

Looking forward to travelling to Belgium to attend the @woncaeurope2023 conference & present our vision for #globalprimarycare. #PrimaryCare

Insightful to hear @rcgp Chair, Prof. Kamila Hawthorne @KamilaRCGP talk about her #primarycare/#generalpractice research journey, in the context of balancing several professional & personal roles. The biggest message I got was not to give up.
