GPs in a Pod a hit with local GPs

The PHN’s first clinical podcast series, GPs in a Pod, is continuing to grow, after a successful first year.

The project was developed as a collaboration between the PHN’s communications team and West Moreton General Practice Liaison Officer (GPLO) Dr Tanusha Ramaloo as alternative communications channel for reaching our region’s busy GPs, fostering further education and clinical discussions.

Since its inception in April 2024, the podcast has gone from strength to strength, with over 1,300 streams, 110+ followers, and five-star reviews after 24 episodes.

The series even reached the top 100 charts for medical-related podcasts in mid-2024.

The episodes, which are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and the PHN website, are hosted by the PHN’s West Moreton GPLO, Dr Tanusha Ramaloo, and Darling Downs GPLO, Dr Jo Pappas.

“The positive feedback we’re getting from our GPs has been so encouraging,” said Dr Ramaloo.

“We’ve been lucky to have a number of experienced, knowledgeable health leaders share their knowledge and insights across several disciplines.”

“The podcast format has been really successful, and with short episodes, our GPs can tune in in their car on the way to work or wherever they like,” said Dr Ramaloo.

GPs in a Pod has covered a range of topics, with the most listened-to including obstetrics, domestic and family violence, My Health Record, cervical screening and women’s health.

The GPs in a Pod team is working towards weekly releases for the podcast, and his received significant interest from potential future guests from across our network.

Episodes over the next few months will cover rural doctors, Smart Referrals, sexual health, eating disorders, and more.
