Thank you so much for this wonderful summary! You’re amazing @SFaulknerPandO
Absolutely blown away by the headliner act yesterday @GiskinDay #PlayLearn23 where we had a chose your own adventure via the medium of song. (Think Rick Astley). I’m always inspired by Giskin’s innovative playful practice. Here’s my #Sketchnote of the amazing session.

This is heartwarming and a reminder of the good in humanity. 200+ South African firefighters landed in Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire. Upon arrival, they greeted Canada with a special song and dance in the early hours of the morning...full of pride and resilience! #MZANZI1

It’s an against-the-odds story: two medical students, working on two different continents, brought together by wanting to effect change (and a Jenny Higham grant to encourage collaborative working). Now published in BMJ Global Health. Awesome. @imperial_SoM @NTU_LKCMedicine
📣 New meta-narrative review on vaccine equity: “Heterogeneity in the academic literature on the way ‘equity’ is used points to a plurality of views ... [but] a consensual definition of ‘equity’ is desirable if stakeholders are to achieve agreement” ➡️ gh.bmj.com/content/7/12/e009…

Beautiful lecture by Prof Alan Bleakley, teasing out poetry in medicine, arts and humanities to transform one’s health. Instead of ‘training’ medical students instrumentally, focus on the aesthetics, politics and ethics - to tackle higher levels of complexities. #TransformMedEd22
