Making friends with an old foe

So here I am, a few weeks into my first job as a resident and I'm starting to notice a few differences. I don't go into a run of tachycardia every time my pager buzzes. Another plus is that I've discovered the 'buzz' mode on my pager, so I no longer experience traumatic flashbacks when I hear Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Yes, that was my previous pager tone. I couldn't work out how to change the tune and eventually it just stuck.

My GPET Convention

GP Ambassador Sophie Fletcher, a junior doctor at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, went to the GPET Convention last week in Canberra. 

In this blog, Sophie shares some of the interesting facts, quotes and anecdotes she picked up during the two-day event. 

Sophie won a spot at the conference for her submission to a Going Places Network competition, which asked: “In 200 words or less, tell us why you want to go to the GPET Convention and what you think you could learn by attending?”
