Your ED skills are still there.
This is where to use them.
Founded by ED-experienced doctors who left the hospital system without leaving the medicine behind.
You're a GP. You started in ED. Some part of you is still there.
Perhaps you enjoy being a GP but miss certain aspects of ED — acuity, procedures, working in a team.
Your training path was probably non-linear. The reasons are yours — they're not something we'll ask you to justify, and they're not what we hire on.
What matters to us is what you can do at the bedside. The triage instincts you trained for years to build. The way you think about an undifferentiated patient. The procedures you used to do without thinking. We know it's easy to lose confidence in these skills when they haven't been practiced for a while. We also know they come back.
We recognise the unique value of clinicians with experience in both GP and ED environments. Kinkaya allows you to practice these complementary skill sets, while giving you the opportunity to refresh and renew ED and procedural skills that may have gotten a little dusty in your time away from the hospital environment.
We're Drs Smriti Shah and Justin Withnall — two clinicians who worked primarily in ED before founding Kinkaya. We built it because we wanted to keep practicing the medicine we trained for, without the system that came with it. Whatever brought you from ED to GP, you'll find a team here with journeys not unlike your own.
What the work looks like in practical terms
You'd use your full breadth — paediatrics, undifferentiated acuity, fractures, lacerations, procedures, the cases where someone has to make the call. This is not a GP practice with an x-ray machine. We offer on-site x-ray, pathology, a fracture clinic, paediatric-trained nurses, and paediatrician access. We have the infrastructure to follow up and finish each case, and a team that means you're not standing alone with a sick kid.

The team you'd join
You'd be part of a small, hand-selected team of doctors and nurses, where the founders still work clinical shifts and are still in the tearoom on Tuesday. We prioritise teamwork with shared goals around patient outcomes and safety. Learning and discussion around unclear cases is encouraged. Our paediatric-trained nurses are trusted to question our plans if something doesn't feel right, not punished for speaking up.

A paid orientation day, alongside one of us, on a real shift. You get a chance to step back into those ED skills in a supported environment, meet the team, and see whether it feels right.
