| 5/2/26 |  #218 Workers' Compensation with Greg Spinda | Ever found yourself staring at a workers' compensation or insurance form, pen in hand, quietly wondering what on earth you're supposed to write in half these boxes? You're in good company. Most of us learned this stuff the same way, watching someone else do it, nodding along, and then absolutely winging it the moment we were left alone with a patient and a certificate to fill in. Yes, we know, workers' compensation and insurance sounds about as thrilling as a mandatory compliance training video. But stick with us. Dr Rob Park sits down with Greg Spinda, specialist personal injury lawyer and, as it turns out, not nearly as terrifying as his credentials suggest, to work through real GP scenarios, tackle those form boxes that have been quietly haunting us, and explore how getting the details right from day one can make an enormous difference to your patients' outcomes.

| 2/19/26 |  #213 RAVES Model for Eating Disorders with Shane Jeffries | In this episode of The GP Show, Dr Ashlea Broomfield speaks with accredited practising dietitian Shane Jeffries about the RAVES Eating Model - a structured, adaptable framework for understanding and supporting eating patterns in general practice. Originally developed for eating disorders, RAVES has been applied more broadly in primary care settings to support patients with body image concerns, disordered eating, chronic disease, metabolic health, and sports nutrition. RAVES stands for: Regularity – consistent eating patterns Adequacy – meeting energy and nutrient needs Variety – flexible, balanced food choices Eating socially – navigating real-world meals Spontaneity – adapting to unexpected situations In this episode, Ashlea and Shane discuss: • How diet culture and moralising food shape people's relationships with eating • The difference between calories and nutritional adequacy • How RAVES complements CBT-E, FBT, and plate-based approaches to disordered eating • The role of hunger, fullness, and interoception in clinical practice • Considerations for restrictive eating, neurodivergence, and GLP-1 medications • Using RAVES as a structured thinking tool for GPs, even without providing detailed nutrition plans Key takeaway: RAVES is not a diet - it's a practical, person-centred framework that balances structure, flexibility, and clinical nuance to support sustainable change across diverse contexts. 🔗 Learn more at raveseatingmodel.com ...

| 1/28/26 |  #211 Palliative Care with Dr Susie Muir | If you're a GP or frontline clinician who wants a calm, practical update on palliative care without wading through a textbook, this episode is a high-yield listen. Through four realistic cases (breathlessness and panic, malignant bowel obstruction in aged care, cancer pain and nausea in a younger patient, and comfort care with renal/liver failure), Dr Susie Muir breaks down what to do first, what to avoid, when to switch routes (subcut matters), and how to titrate core symptom meds safely—while keeping goals of care at the centre. You'll come away with a clearer mental checklist, confidence to start sensible first-line measures, and a better sense of when to pick up the phone to palliative care early rather than late.

| 8/6/25 |  #198 The RACGP explained with Dr Michael Wright | Ever wondered what the President of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) actually does — or what it's like to carry the hopes (and frustrations) of 40,000 GPs on your shoulders? In this episode, GP and President of the RACGP Dr Michael Wright pulls back the curtain on college politics, policy negotiations, and the daily juggle between bureaucracy and real-world general practice. Hosted by Dr Rob Park and Dr Sam Manger, the conversation is sharp, honest, and refreshingly human — no spin, no fluff. Dr Wright doesn't shy away from the tough stuff: Medicare reform, GP burnout, the future of the profession, and how to keep general practice both sustainable and satisfying. It's a rare peek inside the mind of the college's leader — why he took the job, what keeps him up at night, and what gives him hope. If you're a GP who's ever muttered "what is the college even doing?", this one's for you. ...
