Summary
Host Dr Rob Park is joined by Dr. Eleanor Chew, GP of 40 years, RACGP board chair, AMA Queensland chair, and Medal of the Order of Australia recipient. Ever wondered how GPs go from clinic rooms to shaping the future of healthcare on state and national stages? In this episode, Dr. Eleanor Chew shares the real story of how a few coffee conversations, some inspiring mentors, and a willingness to "just say yes" launched her into influential board roles. With humour, honesty, and practical advice, Eleanor shows how you too can step onto committees, learn governance, navigate the politics, and ultimately make a difference far beyond your consulting room. If you're a young GP curious about leadership, advocacy, or simply giving back to your profession, this episode will show you exactly where to start. ...
