Medicine is serious work — but that doesn't mean doctors can't have fun. In this special episode of The GP Show, Drs Rob Park, Ash Broomfield, and Sam Manger get together to put the guidelines down, pick the dice up, and step into the wonderful world of Doctors and Dragons. Joined by GP and Game Master Dr Chris Timms, they swap consult rooms for a fantasy adventure filled with goblins, laughter, and questionable decision-making. They clearly have no idea what they are doing - so have a listen if you've ever been curious what dungeons and dragons is as expert Dr Chris Timms adds a guiding orb of light.

What unfolds is more than just a game — it's a reminder that shared fun, creativity, and connection among friends can be a powerful antidote to professional loneliness. If you've ever felt isolated in medicine, or just want to remember what fun feels like, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The GP Show, Dr Ashlea Broomfield speaks with accredited practising dietitian Shane Jeffries about the RAVES Eating Model - a structured, adaptable framework for understanding and supporting eating patterns in general practice.

Originally developed for eating disorders, RAVES has been applied more broadly in primary care settings to support patients with body image concerns, disordered eating, chronic disease, metabolic health, and sports nutrition.

RAVES stands for:

• Regularity – consistent eating patterns
• Adequacy – meeting energy and nutrient needs
• Variety – flexible, balanced food choices
• Eating socially – navigating real-world meals
• Spontaneity – adapting to unexpected situations

In this episode, Ashlea and Shane discuss:
• How diet culture and moralising food shape people's relationships with eating
• The difference between calories and nutritional adequacy
• How RAVES complements CBT-E, FBT, and plate-based approaches to disordered eating
• The role of hunger, fullness, and interoception in clinical practice
• Considerations for restrictive eating, neurodivergence, and GLP-1 medications
• Using RAVES as a structured thinking tool for GPs, even without providing detailed nutrition plans

Key takeaway: RAVES is not a diet - it's a practical, person-centred framework that balances structure, flexibility, and clinical nuance to support sustainable change across diverse contexts.
