It's been a busy week at the NASGP, having published our magazine last week, attended the Best Practice conference in Birmingham earlier in the week, and meeting lots of NASGP members and new GP locums and practice managers.

Our podcasts have moved into the NASGP community
We no longer publish new podcast episodes on this page. Our latest podcasts now live in the NASGP community, where sessional GPs can join for free to listen, react, and take part in the conversation.
The community is designed to make our podcast content more interactive and useful. Alongside each episode, you can share reflections, comment on what resonated, respond to others’ perspectives, and continue the discussion beyond the audio itself. It’s a space to connect around the real issues facing GP locums – professionally, personally, and emotionally.
If you’re looking for previous episodes, you can still browse our archived podcast content here. To access new episodes and join the conversation, head to the NASGP community.
