Welcome to milestone episode 75! Thank you to past guests for generously contributing their time, expertise and wisdom to the podcast and inspiring me and many listeners. Thank you to everyone listening for continuing to support and grow this podcast and platform. Five years on this passion project still brings me joy and energy.
I can't think of a more fitting guest and topic to celebrate #75 than Dr Andrew Wines current president of podcast sponsor The Medical Benevolent Association of NSW-ACT.
The Medical Benevolent Association of NSW-ACT is a registered ACNC charity run by Doctors for Doctors and their families. MBA NSW-ACT provides counselling and short-term financial assistance through times of crisis, illness, accident, mental health conditions, grief and loss of income to help Doctors and their families in NSW and ACT to recover and return to independence and wherever possible their vocation.
Dr Andrew Wines is an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle in adults and children. He obtained his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree from the University of Sydney in 1994 and was awarded his fellowship in orthopaedic surgery from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2002.
He has been associated with the MBA NSW-ACT for 28 years joining initially as a councillor in his intern year. He has subsequently held a number of roles within the organisation including secretary, treasuring, vice president and now president.
In 2003 he was awarded a Churchill fellowship in 2003 to assess support services available to doctors and their families in Europe
Dr Wines holds a number of other leadership roles including in research and has made a considerable contribution to the Australian Orthopaedic Association. He is currently the second vice President and Treasurer of the AOA and will be President in 2026. At various stages he has been chair of the Champions of Change, Surgical Performance and Accreditation Committees and a member of the Professional Standards, Continuing Professional Development, Federal Training and Audit and Risk Committees. He is the founding Treasurer of the International Orthopaedic Diversity Association, which now has over 2000 members worldwide.
In this conversation Andrew shares his own powerful story which led him to become involved with the work of the MBA very early in his career and we discuss the work and impact of the MBA NSW-ACT past, present and looking ahead. Thank you Dr Wines, this episode is a wonderful testament to the work of the charity over many years.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
