In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Christina Kontoghiorghe, who is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and a qualified Yoga Instructor. We discuss the importance of physical activity as a whole-of-life practice from the viewpoints of both of her qualifications. How can we justify practices that may be more difficult to measure in traditional evidence based medicine? How can the same treatment help both ourselves and the ones we care for in equal quantities? Take a listen to this episode and feel free to share!

In this episode we are joined by Dr Imran Farooqi who is a Research Champion for the LLR region. We have an interesting discussion about Research in Primary Care/General Practice. This is a great introduction for those working in healthcare who have never known about what research involves in a community setting. There are also some useful tips on how to get involved yourself if you are interested in starting some research where you work.
