It seems a long time since fish-oil supplementation was mainstream thinking. Maybe we need to start re-evaluating in other areas?

Nearly 50% of UK cardiologists are over 50 - do the maths!

Keeping our profession “in the game” in later years is vital for 1) us as professionals 2) our younger colleagues ( otherwise they do the work) 3) our patients who will miss out on all those many years of experience 👇

The senior clinician has felt increasingly demoralised - good pay and seniority makes us a difficult group to feel any sympathy for.
BUT.
Burn out rates are high, there is a brain drain and retirement and 60 increasingly planned.
