Real clinician Bernie - a real chat about what is important for us as practitioners

In this episode Kit and Alex host their inaugural guest, Bernadette Meade, who is a podiatrist working in Warrnambool in south-western Victoria. Bringing awareness and attention to the everyday clinician’s experience is an important part of the evolution of healthcare and rather than have ‘experts’ in the field on as guests, Kit and Alex wanted to honour their intention of real chats with real clinicians and delve into the experiences of those that listen to the podcast. In this episode Bernie joins the discussion where themes emerge around practitioner overwhelm, knowledge consumption, productivity, rest, and nourishment, and how important it is for us as clinicians to recognise what we might need in each moment.
