How well developed is your 'idea toolkit'?
How do you collate and connect articles, books, references to inform your #academic writing?

Thanks, Adam. Hope it was helpful. #GPACF21

great day at #GPACF21 - currently getting top tips from Dr Mary Anne Burrow on Women in Academia. Gender pay gaps, combining academia with clinical work (and caring responsibilities?!), why so fewer women in senior academic positions? It's 2021 and much work to be done...

Talking point at #GPACF21 - when do we ‘become’ GPs? @_elsouth makes the excellent point about how we enact our identity when we introduce ourselves to patients “trainee” “Registrar” etc #MedEd
