Nearly all of them.

Especially culture - culture is a place of safety for many, so to change culture is to experience loss and all stages of the grief cycle.

Wonderful. Excited to hear you’re tackling both the technical and human sides of surgery, truly essential for the future. Which aspect of culture change do you think is the hardest for surgical teams to embrace?

Why is it that we train and assess for "individual competency," and yet healthcare is delivered in a team setting? The death of individualism: interdependence or bust, Oct.30 8:30am-11:30am, workshop invites you to move beyond outdated models of individualism: icre.royalcollege.ca/en/program/2...

I very much do approve.

It’s taken years of advocacy and lobbying to highlight the benefits of assessment models like this.

This is a great step towards meaningful, inclusive, appropriate competency assessments

I’m really excited by the pilot assessments coming to @rcpch.bsky.social training.

It’s a positive move towards longitudinal assessment in the workplace.

I think @orthopodreg.bsky.social will approve.

A shame the #MedEd SoMe audience feels so much smaller now & it’s harder to get the message out.

An excellent few days at #CCIM2025

Learned a lot
Met some excellent humans

Spoke about important things like what it means to *be* a surgeon & what the future might look like

Also about speaking truth to power, making mistakes, & why culture change isn’t a “would like” but a “must have”

@orthopodreg.bsky.social speaks candidly about the perks of working abroad; yes it’s about life/work balance and remuneration. In a different newspaper I read of med students and residents doing jobs on the side just to keep afloat financially; one is an uber driver

NHS doctor says he can earn £10k more a month after moving to work in Australia

‘Any doctor who says it’s not about money is usually coming from a position of privilege - they’ve not had money worries like the rest of us’

A hard day for all who were involved in 7/7

For the victims and patients. For the families

And for those of us who were very very busy that day.

My mum (below), on the family WhatsApp, as she remembers knowing I was working/studying at the Royal London that day
