Noting the recent stuff about sabbatical leave I hope the list does not
object to the following "advertisement". David Oldham is an acquaintance of
an Australian GP who had an exchange with a partner of our practice last
year.
Its not completely clear to me what David has in mind but I am a great
enthusiast for exchanges having done one two years ago. I would point out
that there are ways round the registration difficulties at both ends for the
purposes of exchanges and I am quite happy to advise anyone interested in
these matters. His end looks like a stimulating six months away from the
coal face if you take up his offer to work in the RACGP training program.
Its also important to note that he has chosen his winter and our summer for
the duration of the exchange! (but this should be negotiable in fairness)
