Can we get more comfortable having the sweaty palm conversations - can we have brave, kind conversations that connect? Do have a listen… @doctorstraining.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

Just listened to this. Excellent. Thank you Doctors Training... credit to both the interviewers and the guest (Dr Baverstock). I found the advice regarding looking at "sweaty palm"conversation s as opportunities for strengthening connections and the reframing from "you did" to "I felt" valuable.

How should I deal with a rude colleague? Confronting poor behaviour from someone you work with can seem difficult but there are ways to respond, @abirimmer.bsky.social hears www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Advancing diversity isn’t about sidelining merit but addressing inequities that often prevent true merit from being recognised. Diversity programmes address systemic bias and discrimination #equity #diversity #inclusion #belonging #EDI #DEI #mythofmeritocracy #bias #discrimination #systemicracism

"Team rituals" are regular activities/practices, eg huddles, team lunches, check-ins, celebrations. New research shows teams with more rituals have more engagement, psychological safety, knowledge & job satisfaction, leading to higher productivity/performance: lnkd.in/eXNNvP-G Art: lnkd.in/e_XmBeg9

It's easy to get caught up in the stress of everyday life. The Christmas break has helped me reconnect with balance. I focused on time with family and friends, engaging in hobbies and reminding myself that making time for these things is key to our mental fitness & the ability to do our jobs well.

Let's talk differential attainment. Evidence shows that doctors from ethnic minority backgrounds, international medical graduates & those with disabilities or long-term conditions have disproportionally worse outcomes from training compared to their peers. Now is the time to address this.

The best evaluative feedback is when you seek it for yourself. I regularly have medical students in clinic. I often ask them to watch for if I interrupt a family / miss a cue / etc - it enables really helpful conversation.

If I am to have a feedback conversation where I am sharing some challenging info then I use advocacy with inquiry. But first I ask myself ‘Am I ready to have this conversation- in service of the receiver?’ And then - I ask them ‘ I need to have a conversation with you about xxx is now a good time?’

Pie chart with my version in one side and their version in other. A good conversation enables area of shared knowledge to increase

Advocacy with inquiry

I’m curious

Many of us dislike confrontation. We put off difficult conversations, procrastinate, or sugarcoat what needs to be said. Learning to facilitate these conversations is an important skill to develop as a doctor. Tell me about a time you were given 'negative' feedback with kindness & support.
