Some quotes from GPs who have accessed the scheme in other areas:-

“…so excited to discover this program for mid-career GPs. There has been so much focus on First5s and late-career GPs and yet we are the ones right in the middle of it all. It’s great to have some investment and development opportunities”

“…really excited about this 'middle years' opportunity. We’re all working really hard, we’re good at our job but we’re swamped by the day job.  I need this to focus my aims and use my time wisely and effectively to benefit colleagues and patients”

“I’m acutely feeling the pressure and am facing burnout. I’m looking for ways to help me function effectively and safely.  Phoenix covers both personal resilience and leadership development which I hope will prepare me for the pressures of my job and give me inspiration and guidance on making my aims effective and achievable”
