Welcome back everyone! After much deliberation I have decided to relaunch the podcast. I had originally intended to do so about 18 months ago but found that I did not want to limit the conversation to clinician burnout alone. The podcast is now called the 'Dr Paddy Barrett Podcast' and will be an exploration of topics much closer to home from a professional perspective as a preventive cardiologist. For me, health is about optimizing 3 parts. Lifespan, health span and soul span. The length of your life. The Quality of your life. Your sense of meaning and purpose. The first two are largely where I have spent my professional scientific life and the later, soul span, is much more aligned with what I learned during my explorations of clinician burnout and relates more to psychology, philosophy etc. This is just a quick 5 minute explainer. I hope to release new episodes in the coming months. Paddy Barrett
