So those that find Right Left 👉🏽👈🏽discrimination challenging-found their tribe today! 🙏🏼 to @niscifest.bsky.social for their support as we delved into the human factors science of laterality errors Full house, full of ‘experiments’ & not ‘right’ to be ‘left’ out @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social #NISF25

Gosh….what a day. A unique ‘space’ was nurtured to allow individuals with lived experience of illness, GPs, academics, SPs & writers-to reimagine how simulations can represent what matters to patients & enhance learning for GPs Kudos ++ to Jackie Driscoll

Keen to expand your horizons on what we mean by simulation & its expansive use in HPE? Then this is the @asmeofficial.bsky.social MEGABYTE for you @drsamsmith.bsky.social Register here www.asme.org.uk/events/simul... to book a place as we explore the potential of sim in HPE March 18th 12.30-14.00

Take a moment to ‘read’ & ‘listen’ to the soundscape of a day in the life of being a GP. Sometimes sounds can speak louder than words Such a pleasure to work with Prof Martina Kelly on this piece www.annfammed.org/content/23/1... @annfammed.bsky.social +soundscape www.annfammed.org/content/anna...

Huge thanks to Mid East Antrim Council for the invite to speak to Northern Ireland's future scientists through their STEAM school initiative. Future is bright! …and then getting a chance to present to ProfBrianCox about the science that underpins simulation Feeling inspired 🙏🏼 #BeCurious

Can I thoroughly reassure you….thinking, reading, reflecting is where the best research is at. This all about sense making. The words will follow in due course….and when them come - they will be so much better! Don’t forget sharing and reflecting with others!

Though takes time, nothing quite like harvesting and processing your own produce. Certainly beats the chaos of supermarkets and parking at this time of year #Allotment #GrowYourOwn #Sustainable

There is just something nice about taking your time and avoiding the Christmas chaos (and supporting local suppliers and trying to be more sustainable) #Sustainablity

Winter solstice is always a big mile stone. No better way to acknowledge - than planting Garlic and onion sets. Message of promise #GrowYourOwn #Allotment

The longest night is over. Magical to see via live stream - the winter solstice sun beam through - marking the shortest day. Amazing to think this monument is over 5000 years old (even 500 years older than the pyramids) #NewgrangeSolstice #BruNaBoinne

Always good to meet new people and no one better then @shiyunzhao.bsky.social ! Full of energy, fresh ideas and broadens your worldview 😊 Challenging the orthodox in simulation (and joining in on some carol singing too 🎄!)

Sometimes it’s all about the little wins. Multiple fails in trying to source a replacement castor online (including Amazon) and then stumbled across a castor shop of all places. Personalised service, replacement castor sourced and the joy of speaking to a real person. Drinks trolly back in action!

Deep breathes…. Sim industry flyer landed Positioning that’s SPs are ‘not perfect’ & advocating the use of AI generated manikins to create the ‘perfect patient’ The simulacrum is manifesting before our very eyes @profjennyj.bsky.social The real world is ‘messy’ & so should our sims #simulation

One of the joys as an academic is to see talent emerge. Our wonderful Jill Christie had her viva today & knocked it out of the park! Her phenomenological research explored the gestalt/tacit experiences of triaging patients in general practice. Complex phenomena that Jill has cast new light on #MedEd

Clearing out some old medical school text books and found this gem. This is a keeper (and no doubt has been an influence on me becoming a GP and sociocultural researcher) What’s even better @grahamscambler.bsky.social is on Bluesky - very much worth the follow

How much stress is enough in simulation to optimise learning? Stunning systematic review lead by Aaron Vage who digs deep into this literature to try & untangle this complex concept Ulster Med J 2024;93(3): 119-126

Highly recommend ‘Technopoly’. With all the good that comes with tech in health profession education #HPE #MedEd #Simulation it must not have an unquestioned acceptance. Criticality and scrutinising its use will help us not loose sight of humanity in HPE & what matters most to those that we care for

Weekend allotment haul. All different shapes, sizes and nobbly bits. Could be classified as ‘ugly’ veg by supermarkets but in my opinion they are devine #GardenSky

Dermatological conditions can often be under represented in OSCEs but with the art & science of moulage-can enable these conditions to be represented in OSCEs.
