Thanks for your conditional offer of employment. Here's the £54.50 you want for a DBS check. Unfortunately you've got my grade, specialty, and base hours worked wrong in your offer. You've not provided a generic work schedule, and the occupational health link you've offered is broken. 🙄

Attending the Midlands Medical Education Conference at the University of Nottingham today. Gorgeous demonstration of how scrutinised observation changes behaviour in assessments. One of the organisers stands in the corner of the eyeline of a speaker, holding a clipboard and writing notes.
Why is direct observation unfair?

A favourite things is watching a kid get on the DLR in London and run to the front seat, so they can pretend to drive it. It never matters who is sitting there. EVERY adult gets up and concedes that seat. As humans, we recognise and are bound by a sense of joy and wonder. Above everything else.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
