So how would you sum up the past three years?

Well, it's been intense and a great learning curve, especially initially for me, but really enjoyable.

I mean, I came in as really a frontline GP, used to being in the thick of it, the intense workload, our difficulties in the practice recruiting, and really overall a lack of value put on general practice and GPs, frustratingly.

And you can feel a bit invisible at times.

That's how I thought about things.

And I have my three words, recruitment, retention and investment, which I said to everybody.

And they were really just to give a focus going forward.

What have you enjoyed most about your time in the role? What's been the best bit of it all?
