Being a GP trainee provides an exciting time. It’s when many learn how diverse the life of a GP can be, as it’s one of the few jobs that give the flexibility to do other things alongside your career.
We sat down with Nish Manek, GP registrar at Trumpington St Medical Practice, who shared with us what it was like to be a National Medical Director’s Clinical Fellow at NHS England, and how that led to her starting the ‘Next Generation GP’ programme.
Nish Manek is a GP trainee.
She is also, for this year, on the prestigious National Medical Director’s Clinical Fellow scheme – which is designed to fast track doctors in training “…who present with the clearest potential to develop as medical leaders of the future”. In this role she is spending 12 months working alongside Dr Arvind Madan, NHS England’s Director of Primary Care.
In this podcast Nish eloquently and enthusiastically advocates for general practice as a career and outlines her hopes and expectations for the future. She explains the benefits of being on the Clinical Fellow scheme and talks about Next Generation GP, the programme she has co-developed for aspiring leaders in general practice.
