I Was a UK GP - Here’s Why I Packed Up and Started Over in Australia
In this episode of Ticket to Aus, Thomas sits down with Shedrack, a UK-trained GP who made the move to Australia with our support, to talk through what it is really like to start again on the other side of the world. Shedrack shares an honest account of the relocation process, from the initial decision to leave UK general practice through to navigating the practical challenges of the move. He reflects on what he found difficult, what surprised him, and what he wishes he had known beforehand. Most importantly, he talks about life now. With stronger earnings, more time away from work, and far less day-to-day pressure, Shedrack explains how the move has allowed him to enjoy his free time properly, build a social life, and regain a sense of balance that had been missing. If you are a GP considering Australia, this episode offers a clear, real-world perspective on what the transition looks like and what life can be like on the other side.

The Future of General Practice: Reform, Risk, And Decisions That Matter
Recent documents linked to the government’s 10-year health plan have revealed thinking behind a review of the Carr-Hill funding formula. While the formula itself is widely accepted as outdated, the proposals being explored go far beyond a technical recalibration. They point towards a future in which funding is more conditional, more targeted, and more closely linked to outcomes, patient experience, and workforce participation. For GP Partners, this marks a significant shift – one that will influence not just finances, but leadership, structure, and staffing decisions across practices. Matthew sits down with David Clark, Executive Partner in the Southwest to discuss his thoughts on this. 00:09 Introductions 00:48 Why is reform in general practice inevitable 04:18 Are the current models in Primary Care outdated? 07:32 Looking at the Carr Hill formular 13:12 The potential impact on Practice funding 17:52 How can changes be applied to both large and small practices? 21:04 How can practices mitigate risk? 24:20 How do you find the headspace to consider your approach 28:32 How different approaches to change may look 31:42 How important is it to have someone business oriented in the practice? 37:25 How can you future proof your practice? 44:10 Potential issues with the same format for all practices 47:32 Final thoughts on how to protect yourself and mitigate risk
