From Doctor to Barrister - is the grass really greener? - with Dr. Urmila Roy

In this episode I interview Dr. Urmila Roy who is both a dedicated doctor and a qualified barrister, uniquely blending her clinical expertise with legal acumen to address complex issues in healthcare. She is passionate about bridging the gap between medicine and law to enhance patient care and professional support.

 

 

In this episode we cover:

- Why Urmila decided to venture into Law from a career as a GP

- The mindset shifts she needed to take to change careers including the importance of self discovery as an essential part of the process

- Exact steps she took to become a Family Barrister

- Why she believes that doctors are actually smarter than barristers 

- Why she continues to practice as a GP alongside being a full time Barrister
