Episode Synopsis

What does it take to truly fix healthcare in Queensland? According to Dr. Nick Yim, it starts with smarter systems, not just more funding. In this episode, we sit down with the AMA Queensland President to unpack a bold new idea: a statewide digital passport for clinicians. It’s a simple solution with the power to break down bureaucratic barriers and supercharge workforce flexibility across hospitals and communities.But Dr. Yim doesn’t just talk policy, he brings lived experience. His winding path from would-be pharmacist to rural GP and now state advocate, reminds us that careers (and life) rarely follow a straight line. His passion for community-led solutions and patient-first care is as compelling as his insight into what today’s doctors really need to thrive.With topics ranging from clinician burnout to the boundaries of AI, this episode is packed with heart, vision, and practical wisdom. Dr. Yim’s message is clear: great healthcare starts with great people and with the right support, we can build a system where everyone has a chance to flourish.It Takes Heart is hosted by cmr CEO Sam Miklos, alongside Head of Talent and Employer Branding, Kate Coomber. We Care; Music by Waveney Yasso More about Dr Nick's Organisations of Choice, AMA Queensland Foundation The AMA Queensland Foundation brings together medical colleagues and the business community to deliver vital services outside those catered for by the public health system.
