Episode 24: Dr David Hindmarsh - Military Vaccination Programmes, Habits By Design, Elephant Bicycles And Generally Being Politically Uncorrect

For further information on the episode, please visit allaboutdoctorsradio.com

Dr Dave Hindmarsh is a GP in the North East England and Army Veteran. After having 11 years of service, he realised that he needed to change his life to be less career focused and to ensure that work-life balance is addressed. This was bought into no small part by the untimely death of his new born son, James. This made him turn to literature to try and help on this journey, The Chimp Paradox and Atomic habits really helping to focus his efforts.

He is now balancing his own portfolio career, being a new partner in Eaglescliffe Medical Practice, Hull-York Medical School and teaching locally. The YouTube channel, GP Templates, is his own passion project that was born out of trying to create a second income. It has started to focus on some really key points from his life with the aim that they can help others in similar predicaments.

This is a new step in Dave’s career as he tries to pull all that he has been through to bring meaning to what he has been through and to carefully share with patients and help them on their own individual journey.
