    Dr John Cameron: The divide between Telehealth and face-to-face appointments

    22/03/2026 | 40 mins.
    The popularity of Telehealth GP appointments skyrocketed during the pandemic, and it hasn't gone away since.
    Just about every general practice now offers Telehealth appointments, generally as a less costly and more accessible alternative.
    But this country has an increasingly urgent primary care crisis, with 50% of GPs planning to retire by 2035 - and Telehealth is just another tool to get more patients seen as GPs leave the workforce.

    David Letele: Why are we always getting in our own way when we're getting healthy?

    01/03/2026 | 40 mins.
    It's common to come up with a myriad of excuses as to why you can't go to the gym a few times a week, why you can't make a balanced meal instead of eating out, the list goes on.
    Quite honestly, almost anyone can spare 15 minutes out of the day to go for a walk or run, but instead we'll spend 30 minutes trying to come up with a good reason not to.
    All too often, we tend to stand in our own way when it comes to improving our health or fitness. But why? And how do we stop it from happening?
