Introducing my wonderful guest, Dr Jane George.
This episode is called 'Following what fires you up' because that is exactly what Jane has done. She has followed her passion for being of service, seeing inequality in health care and wanting to do something about it.
We talked about the different seasons of life, how to lead with intention, what a new approach to holistic health care could look like and what are some ways to introduce that.
Enjoy!
About Jane:
Jane lives in Ōtautahi (Christchurch) on the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Jane was labelled argumentative early on and continues to exercise her curiosity and voice questioning inequity and privilege decades later.
Training first as an ambulance officer and then as a clinical social worker, she has worked in health and social care settings for over 30 years, across Aotearoa and the United Kingdom.
Whilst working in the most rural health district in Aotearoa as the director of their Allied Health professions, she grappled with the challenges of recruiting and retaining health staff. This led to her doctoral research, which looked at the complexities of recruitment and retention of rural allied health professionals. Her research produced a range of recommendations for health systems, leaders, tertiary education providers and registering bodies.
