Apologies to my 🎅 #SecretSantaAoNZ as I haven't had much time for SoMe, but thanks in advance. Honestly, I will appreciate whatever you enjoy giving. Easy ideas = lined notebooks, fine-nibbed pens, whole coffee beans or dark chocolate.

We should be investing in employing health graduates and retaining them in New Zealand. Politicians choose easy, short-term 'wins' like opening new medical schools and funding cancer drugs. But who is going to look after you when you're old and frail?

Delighted to share the keynote talk from the Monash Patient Safety and Human Factors conference.
It examines what do we mean by “patient safety?”, exploring the roots of current approaches and how they leave us blind to changing risk and our increasingly brittle systems.

When a patient presents with mottling among their constellation of signs, symptoms, and labs, there is a look that team members give each other that we've all seen. It's not a positive look. Here is some data reinforcing our intuition. 🎩 tip to the authors.
