Don’t drink and drive because it won’t just be the police after you… it’ll be your GP too.
The recommended amount of alcohol consumption on any given day is no more than 2 standard drinks. Drinking more than this can cause harm from alcohol related disease or injury.

It’s so tempting to fall into the same routine week in week out without setting yourself challenges or goals. This can often make us feel underwhelmed and unmotivated to push ourselves to success.
Try writing yourself a short list of things you’d like to achieve by the end of the week. It’ll give you objectives and purpose and so by the time it reaches Friday, you’ll be able to look back and celebrate how much you’ve done.
I’ve challenged myself to take up a new hobby of watercolour painting. Here I’ve drawn some memories from what I consider to be the best airport in the world - Changi Airport, Singapore. It literally had everything, a pool, a free movie theatre, indoor forests an abundance of shops and an extensive food court. 🛫
Painting this was actually quite fun and relaxing, a nice change from the routine of day to day activities and I hope to continue and improve my skills, so stay tuned for more. 👩🎨 Have you taken up any new hobbies recently?
Throughout medical school and GP training we had reflection drilled into our curriculum. As a practicing doctor I can see how important this is. By being able to take a situation and analyse what was done well and not so well allows for continual self-development and learning. It allows us to remain humble but at the same time gain knowledge and skills.
It’s something that I do on a daily basis and if it’s not something you’ve tried before, I encourage you to give it a go and let me know how you do.
