Episode One: Zen & The Art of Medicine with Professor Roger Neighbour OBE

Welcome to the first-ever episode of the Still Practising podcast with me, Dr James Fish. I'm a GP in East Sussex and a Mindfulness Teacher.

We are very lucky to start off by talking to Professor Roger Neighbour OBE. Roger was a prolific educationalist who coined the term safetynetting and wrote many books that are compulsory reading for general practitioners. He has also practiced Zen Buddhism since his houseman days in the 1970s. We discuss wide ranging topics relevant to those who work in the caring professions including 'big picture' medicine, coping with the inevitable trauma of our vocations and the role that meditation can play.

 

I really hope you enjoy our conversation and find it as helpful as I did.
