Serious question: what are helpful things you can do when presenting a talk or lecture that assist audience members who have ADHD?

This is one of the Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) that final year medical students in the UK sit. It is worth 50% of their mark. And I can confidently say it is RUBBISH. What is this appalling #presenteeism and frank workplace #bullying? 🤨
Sort it out, @gmcuk. 👎#MedEd

[Zaita Oldfield @EdResSurg]

@LiangRhea @gmcuk ... and what about the poor student who is trying to double guess what the examiners are looking for here - whether examiners rate 'presenteeism' highly or whether they have moved into the 21st century and value work-life boundaries.

There is often a misconception that being a surgeon is all about the technical skills in performing an operation.

Our technical skills are only one of 10 competencies that makes us who we are as modern day surgeons.

Please watch. We must reduce transmission - 3rd/4th doses, N95/P2 masks & a clean air strategy. Plus, antivirals for those infected & at high risk. Most people are unaware of much of this, & of the risks of infection for themselves & others. Our strategy is wrong. #COVID19Aus

Other things I advise friends to do: 1. Take notes. It focuses Drs. And 2. Learn a few words of jargon in their specialty. “So Doctor what’s my left ventricular fraction looking like?” “So Doctor have you got the histology back?” Then watch how the conversation changes.
