Rammya Mathew , GP London rammya.mathew{at}nhs.netFollow Rammya on Twitter: @RammyaMathewMy son started school this September, and I’ve been reflecting on what it’s been like to juggle parenting and my career over the past few years. Since then I’ve been perpetually searching for the right balance between being a “present” mother and a fulfilled doctor. In the past year I’ve increased the amount of work that I do, and I’m now working more or less full time again. Like many other doctors who work flexibly or choose to work less than full time, I’m trying my best to keep all the plates spinning. I try not to feel guilty or invalidated when I read tabloid articles that continually berate GPs for wasting taxpayers’ money.
