It's been a little while since @bopa.org.uk had a "motivational speaker" as their last presenter on Saturday. So I'm pretty excited Shane Martin is coming to present about "The psychology of renewal: seeking purpose & meaning in life & work" - make sure you are in the #BOPA2025 auditorium at 16:35

To be fair, I didn’t expect an answer to my question as she had no chance to prepare. But always worth reminding everyone that it’s the behind the scenes professionals that are crucial to patient care
