How is “the way we do things around here” ethos created and embedded, who or what can affect it and what does it mean for our workforce.

Kath has a background in general practice and academia. She moved to Highland in 2016 to take up a post as an Associate Medical Director. After returning to clinical work in 2019 she struggled with brain fog and a collapse in confidence, prompting her to consider leaving medicine. Rediscovering a love of exercise and learning after a short period of coaching inspired her to re-train as a coach, lifestyle medicine physician and found Wild-Ness Retreats. She combines this venture with work as a GP at the Alness & Invergordon Medical Practice where she integrates western acupuncture and lifestyle medicine into her NHS consultations. Kath is launching a new movement next year called The Sustainable Healer to promote a shift in practice towards sustainable healing which helps patients, practitioners, and the planet.

]]> Part 1: There may be times in our career where we feel we are on the wrong path, or when we notice our energy for our role is diminished. This may result in a building sense of disquiet, in mental unrest or physical symptoms. How can we make sense of these feelings and what options might we have for mitigating them and rediscovering our joy for work. In this episode Dr Kath Jones, GP and founder of Wild Ness, talks to us about her career journey, how it changed and developed, how she interleaved an emerging passion, and how she was able to stick with GP.  

 

Dr Kath Jones, NHS GP, Lifestyle Medicine Physician & Founder of Wild-Ness 

 

Kath has a background in general practice and academia. She moved to Highland in 2016 to take up a post as an Associate Medical Director. After returning to clinical work in 2019 she struggled with brain fog and a collapse in confidence, prompting her to consider leaving medicine. Rediscovering a love of exercise and learning after a short period of coaching inspired her to re-train as a coach, lifestyle medicine physician and found Wild-Ness Retreats. She combines this venture with work as a GP at the Alness & Invergordon Medical Practice where she integrates western acupuncture and lifestyle medicine into her NHS consultations. Kath is launching a new movement next year called The Sustainable Healer to promote a shift in practice towards sustainable healing which helps patients, practitioners, and the planet.
