The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

158 Leaving the NHS with Dr Rachael Rooney  In today’s episode I am talking with the wonderful Dr Rachael Rooney. Rachael is a GP by background and now specialises in providing lifestyle medicine and advice.  Rachael talks about the push and pull factors, which led to her stepping out of her general practice. We also talk about the doctor title and how important it is to Rachel, whether she's going to be using it or not. We discuss the importance of putting yourself first and saying no, and not feeling bad about it and managing your time, managing your energy,  listening to your thoughts and managing your mind. I really, really enjoyed it. It's really thought provoking and an excellent episode.   This week on The Business of Healthcare:  Who is Dr Rachael Rooney  Push & Pull factors  Doctor title and what it means  GP Retention Scheme  New phase of career    Mentions in Podcast  Episode 141 – Dr Helen Lawal    Connect with Dr Rachael Rooney  Dr Rachael Rooney Website  On Linkedin  On Instagram    Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

157 Do not say no because you are scared  Welcome back to the business of healthcare podcast. I hope you guys are doing well. In this episode, I wanted to do a little bit of a re-introduction as we have new listeners, which is absolutely fab, and I also wanted to say thank you to our regular listeners, we love that you come back each week and spend your time listening to our Podcast.   We launched in September, 2019 and at the time of recording, we have recorded well over 160 episodes and the show continues to grow. On Tuesdays on the Business of Healthcare Podcast, it is usually a solo episode where I'm just sharing what's going on behind the scenes, in my own health consultancy and we've also had a period of time where I've been listening back to some of my favourite episodes and then drawing out a short clip and then re sharing that and providing my commentary on either side.    We did that because we've got such an archive of content. I think it's really important to revisit what we've already heard and what we already know, because we're not always consistently practicing it.  It's not always about producing new content, sometimes it's about revisiting the discussions that's already been.    On Thursdays, that is where I interview a healthcare leader and they share what goes on behind the scenes of their business and their leadership journey to date. The point and purpose of the show is to provide an informal space for you to hear from healthcare stars that you may not be aware of, and also to introduce you to just everyday leaders and their stories.  In this weeks episode I discuss why not to say no because you are scared, I wanted to give you a real life example of how I let my imposter syndrome get in the way. I’m sure this has happened to many of us out there!  This week on The Business of Healthcare:  How I let my imposter syndrome get in the way  Discussing your concerns with trusted friends/colleagues  Sharing experiences    Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

#156 A Sense of Responsibility to Speak Out - with Cedi Frederick Welcome back to the Business of Healthcare Podcast – this episode is extremely, extremely special to me.

#149 How to deal with tricky Situations In this episode I discuss how I’ve had a few experiences where I’ve had to practice resilience. I wanted to share this with you and talk about the importance of practising resilience because as leaders this is something we will have to manage time and time again. Today I’m talking about how hard it can be when conflict arises unexpectedly and ways you can keep your cool, take a breath and manage the situation as best you can. I share how resilience takes work, time and energy and something we have to continually practice. I talk about knowing when to separate the head and heart because not all conversations will be good ones, and how we can best manage our emotions.  I also share the importance of showing up and not hiding away, even when we feel we want to. “The higher you climb the more of this you’ll have to manage.” Tara Humphrey This week on The Business of Healthcare:  • The importance of practising resilience.  • The difficulties when conflict appears unexpectedly.  • Ways to stop negative energy flowing into your next meeting.  • Knowing when to separate head and heart.  • How to manage your emotions.  • The importance of showing up and not hiding away.    Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.
