Could you take a minute to tell us a little bit about who you are and, uh, what it is that you do?

Oliver:Yeah, so my name's Oliver and I'm a pathway advisor for Gender GP. I work within the queries team. Um, so I basically spend my days answering patient queries. Um, anything that they may want to ask us things like their medication or what they need to do in terms of, uh, their treatment myself and my team provide answers to those on a daily basis.

Cleo:So you're like the, like the bread and butter of Gender GP, keeping the, keeping the machine working so that everyone's mind can stay happy and easy.

Oliver:You Could say. So in a way. Yeah,

Cleo:No, that that's really cool. Uh, in our most recent episode, I talked to Marianna a little bit about what it's like in the comms team. You know, we keep abreast of what's going on over in patient services, but there is a lot of the day to day work that we don't see. Yeah. You must have hundreds of patients come through in a day. Right. We

Oliver:Do get hundreds of queries every day. Um, obviously we have, I think we're up to about five and a half thousand patients worldwide, I Think

Cleo:five and a half thousand. Wow.

Oliver:Um, so yeah, there's, there's always quite a lot of queries. There's always a lot to do, but it's good because it keeps us really busy. And I really love the work that we do. I've only been there for like two months now, but, you know, I think being able to be a part of Gender GP has so far been absolutely amazing. So yeah,

Cleo:Certainly that's a common theme that's come up, which is that regardless of like what job role you do or where you're coming from, people have come here because they wanted to make a difference. I mean, that's really important. Yeah.

Oliver:There's A lot of pride, I think, from our team, which is incredible yeah. In the work that we do.

Cleo:And That's great to be able to say about your workplace wherever you work. Right. Like, like to able to say, wake up in the morning and say, oh, I'm proud of what I do.

Oliver:
