Motivating and moving talks from experts in critical care to patients and whānau sharing their stories at @anzics today. The biggest take home messages: communication is key 🔑 along with compassion, human connection, and team work.

This thread 💯 it can be hard to work with your trauma and I try to remind people it’s worth the investment

On the journey to heal, we can often feel worse before we feel better.
That doesn’t mean it will always feel that way, but it can be so discouraging when we finally take the step to go to therapy, ask for help, and face what is inside.

Awesome to see all this awareness. 👏🏽Yesterday I co-facilitated 2x Stress First aid courses w/ theatre staff - w/the aim to create peer responders to prevent burnout 🙏🏽

I thank the convener of #DCAS22 Developing a Career in Academic Surgery at #RACS22 for the decision to discuss matters that affect the human holding the scalpel.

Surgeon wellbeing is a patient safety issue.

@RACSurgeons have done lots of work in this space and I’m grateful.

Tonight a patient called therapy appointments "lessons" and said "I am in therapy to remember who I really am under all the stories about who I'm supposed to be, and these are lessons in remembering myself so I can find my way home when we're not together" *cue tears*

What a great read. I can relate to a lot of this.. the joys of starting a career as a hospital based health psychologist in the beginning of a pandemic

We are seeing disproportionate number of pregnant women with COVID coming through ED at the moment. Often unvaccinated, or incompletely so. Some are critically unwell. If you know or are caring for someone who is pregnant, please encourage vaccination against COVID.

Today was a bitter sweet day as I said haere rā to the burns team. So much has happened in the last 2 years from Whakaari to COVID - it has been a fun and wild journey. Looking back I feel like I grew exponentially as a clinician & developed a special interest in burns and pain.
