After some reflection I have concluded that Emergency Care in the UK has never before been under the constant, unrelenting pressure as it is now. Every shift feels like a struggle (and I’ve been doing it a while). How do you keep yourself positive on shift (and after)?
I went a bit quiet at the end of #NUHMedEd23!
Fantastic talk from Prof Claire Sharpe.
Showed NUH CEO the fantastic work of doctors, ACPs and students at UoN and NUH. Enthusiasm and engagement from the audience.
Thank you to my organising team! @NUHPMED
UMED and PMED awards at #NUHMedEd23… Great to see so many of our medical students, junior doctors and educators providing outstanding education and care.
“For one so small you make a lot of noise. I was marginalised in a single phrase.”
Being reminded to be inclusive, fight against differential attainment and challenging harassment by Mrs Morris & @Dr_WilkinCrowe #NUHMedEd23
Such a challenging question on differential attainment from @Dr_WilkinCrowe and Mrs Louise Morris - followed by the privilege walk!
Easy to see how so many of us have privileges that others don’t.
#NUHMedEd23
@RCullum91 giving us a platform for fantastic discussions on personal identity and why it matters to show this to our patients and colleagues.
“We all have aspects of our personal and professional roles that we choose to share and not share in different settings”
One symbol can be taken in such different ways by patients - thanks @RCullum91

“Well you’re gay so it must be an STD” - an example of discrimination leading to misdiagnosis through incorrect preconceptions.
@NicJMiller1 teaching us a new 5Ds model for calling it out in the healthcare setting.

Early entry for slide of the day from talk on burnout
#RidersUnite #nuhmeded23
@ClareGerada A prescription - 90 minutes 9x year for teams to meet and give support to each other. Fantastic advice for how to tackle burnout.
And a positive ending “Most doctors thrive in their jobs.”
#NUHMedEd23 @NUHPMED
Burnout is highest in the caring professions - those with high levels of:
- Altruism
- Self sacrifice
- Perfectionism
50% doctors will experience burnout in their lives.
It’s not just about resilience training and mindfulness - thank you @ClareGerada #NUHMedEd23
“A broken culture is a systems error”
Dr Mark Ehlers reminding us of different cultures focussing on positive affirmation and collective responsibility.

A fantastic day of learning about culture in medicine and medical education planned. Watch this space for learning pearls throughout the day. #NUHMedEd23
So excited to be part of the team that has put this amazing conference together.
I’m so passionate about the topic of “Culture in Medicine” - civility, allyship and collaborative leadership is the future!

Amazing way to end the NEPTUNE conference, taking us on a PEM adventure! So many clinical trials in 1 hour.
My interesting fact: No difference in drain failure rate in haemothorax (BUT emergent drains excluded!)
#neptune23 #PEMadventures
Excellent talk from @BRILLTeamNUH on the F words of paediatric brain injury rehabilitation #neptune23
“60% paediatric MT patients are of our lowest socioeconomic group”
Rehab is a chance to get children INTO school not just back into school.
Awesome talk by Naomi Davies - not only about rehab and school return but reminding us of huge health inequalities in the UK.
