This week’s #SoWhoCaresAnyway episode features Dr Tony Jones speaking with Ruth Germaine.
Tony is a retired GP, GP educator and clinical leader who played an instrumental role in the inception and development of the Training Hub, particularly in West Kent. In this episode, he reflects on four decades in general practice and education, and the belief that our experiences are never wasted.
He talks about the early moments that shaped him, the self‑doubt he carried into training, and how those experiences informed the support he later offered to hundreds of GPs through the CLIC clinical leadership programme. Tony also shares thoughtful insights on emotional intelligence, reflective practice, imposter syndrome, and the deeper questions that sit beneath illness for both patients and clinicians.
A grounded, generous conversation about care, calling, and the courage to understand yourself so you can better support others.
