Podcast: GP locuming in New Zealand with Dr Jennie Ferrie

Join Dr Richard Fieldhouse as he talks with Dr Jennie Ferrie, a seasoned GP with a rich international background, now practicing as a locum in New Zealand.

In this episode, Dr Ferrie shares her journey from the UK to New Zealand, detailing the nuances of locum work in rural areas, the challenges and rewards of adapting to a different healthcare system, and the lifestyle benefits of living in New Zealand.

This enlightening conversation offers a deep dive into the life and career shifts that come with international locuming, providing valuable insights for GPs considering a similar path.

"As a newly-qualified CCT and a GP moving to a new region post-CCT, I found LocumDeck and the NASGP to be very helpful. LocumDeck has been useful: Ali Lewis helped me to set myself up, get in touch with practices and book sessions, and also helped me chase payments. The NASGP itself, providing peer support and advice, has also been very good. I would certainly encourage my colleagues to join."

Dr Smita Sharma, GP, Hertfordshire
