Dr John Floridis — Top End adventures in remote medicine
Listen on:
There is so much to be learned from the vastly experienced Dr John Floridis, a pharmacist-turned rural generalist and advanced emergency medicine trainee. As well as being a rural and remote family doctor, John is a GP anaesthetist and a medical retrieval consultant who spent almost a decade servicing remote communities (and the citizens of Darwin) in the Top End.
In this episode of Destination Medicine, Dr Floridis shares his medical journey from his early days working in South Australia's Riverland to practicing in remote East Arnhem Land. He reflects on the unique challenges and rewards of rural and remote healthcare. He discusses the deep connections with local communities, the broad scope of practice, and the huge opportunities for both professional and personal growth in rural and remote medicine.
