Our recently published paper on improving leadership and teamwork skills in medical students through @SIMBAsimulation

Giving medical students more responsibility/independence in non-clinical environments (like in SIMBA) may help to teach these skills.

A Brilliant session with @unibirm_MDS year 1 students.. Particularly impressed with the quality of questions they asked.. Here's a snippet..
PS: it was an interesting experience to be doing it from Edinburgh Airport while I was waiting for my flight back! 😂😂

Presenting data from 9 different @SIMBAsimulation sessions in 2020, with >1000 participants.

Showing SIMBA consistently improves clinician confidence in approaching clinical scenarios, and is to be acceptable, relevant and engaging to participants.

Up early on the bank holiday to present @SIMBAsimulation at #AMEE2021

07.30 starts in ED have trained me for this moment

Denmark's players had to form a protective ring around their teammate. A distraught wife was broadcast to the world. TV broadcasters and cameramen are capable of blocking footage of pitch invaders, but not this? Sorry, that is not ok.

In the grand scheme of things, the ‘failures’ we beat ourselves up over will probably not matter/we won’t even remember them. Contextualising these things is so helpful

Medical School Lecturers: we just want to ensure you'll be a safe junior doctor

Medical School Exams: what's 4th line malaria treatment in a patient with lung mets, CKD, 50 pack year, drinks a litre of vodka a night & is penicillin allergic. His bloods have been lost by the lab

#TipsForNewDocs
Traits I respect in a doctor:
1. Compassion. (No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.)
2. Humility. (Keeps asking the opinions of others.)
3. Integrity. (Does what they say they'll do.)
4. Diligence. (Keeps working the problem.)

David Lammy schools this caller who tells him he's "not English" because he's not white.
