WW reflects on how we get dragged down by trivia & the daily grind, but sees us as being rescued by vivid memories of great moments when we have risen to external challenges! @vhmdale @banse_heidi @Grim_Raspberry @HalehMoravej @VetHumanitiesUK @RCVSpresident #ReflectionFTD
Being completely open to the pain of others can come at great cost to our #wellbeing, & make us want to avoid such encounters. #Empathy must understand others, but recognise boundaries, so we can support at the same time as protecting ourselves. @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
In early recognition of the value of the #VeterinaryTeam, for foot lameness in horses, JG emphasised the importance of #Veterinarians & #Farriers working together. @RCVSKnowledge @theRCVS @BritishVets @CBVetEd @VetHumanitiesUK @VetHistSoc #ReflectionFTD
More than 100 y before Sackett started to emphasise the #complex synthesis of knowledge, skills & experience with scientific evidence that makes up #EBM, JG was drawing these strands together as important in #veterinary education @RCVSKnowledge @VetHistSoc @CBVetEd #ReflectionFTD
Hope is essential in providing everyone with the motivation to achieve their aspirations. However, hope is not unfounded optimism. In extremis, optimists may die of a broken heart. https://t.co/F39LgrIbBr Hope recognises reality, but has sound end goals to realise. #ReflectionFTD
Given the destructive urge of many to highlight others weaknesses in order to undermine them, it takes considerable courage to forge meaningful relationships by sharing our uncertainties/vulnerability @brenebrown @VetHumanitiesUK @vhmdale @banse_heidi @HalehMoravej #ReflectionFTD
It's through sharing our uncertainties & vulnerabilities with others we can best forge relationships to work effectively together on #complex problems. The danger is we sow division, by focusing on vulnerabilities more to undermine relationships than to build them. #ReflectionFTD
Scott Fitzgerald said“the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind...and still retain the ability to function.” In facing #complexity we often face apparent contradictions as we seek inherent truth @CBVetEd @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
As we grapple with #complexity & grow in understanding, we need to update our conceptualisations & the models we use to explore & decide on action. We mustn't be afraid to discard older ideas, if the new are better! @CBVetEd @RCVSKnowledge @theRCVS @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
As an #educator, a great frustration is the #student who believes #ProblemSolving is only possible through replicating what they've been taught. I find it sad, as they hesitantly take their 1st steps in adapting all they know, they've not learnt this much earlier! #ReflectionFTD
I love watching #expert #clinical #educators at work, particularly as they share their principles of care delivery. I often "indulge" myself in Osler's writings or reading about him as his principles shine across a century. @VetHumanitiesUK @RCVSKnowledge @RVC_CSC #ReflectionFTD
As @Heijinxs discovered during an early Nursing placement, we all have feelings for our patients/clients, but in understanding them we must not internalise their pain & be overwhelmed. Self-awareness through #reflection is essential to clinician well-being @theRCVS #ReflectionFTD
As every child knows, straightforward questioning is central to learning as they seek to understand the meaning of all they observe in our #complex world. As adults, questioning continues to be important in testing our own & others ideas/assumptions! @RCVSKnowledge #ReflectionFTD
#Reflection is continuous, & central to our growth, as individually & collectively we test our ideas, logically discarding the unsatisfactory & building on the sound foundations that remain. @CBVetEd @VetHumanitiesUK @vhmdale @mscvetedu @RCVSKnowledge #Complexity #ReflectionFTD
A skill of great #educators is opening young minds to puzzlement/uncertainty. Our learners need to recognise how much of our knowledge is provisional & context-bound so they become adept at adaptation & updating. @CBVetEd @RCVSKnowledge @VetHumanitiesUK @mscvetedu #ReflectionFTD
I just loved the language here - in a complex world, "learning to be truly present", now, "as mortal critters entwined" in matters & meanings, in time & space - wonderful! @vhmdale @banse_heidi @DrSharonVarney @HalehMoravej @mscvetedu @CeriChick @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
The trouble with electronic communication is it's so immediate, & we're often in such a hurry, that we click in haste only to repent at leisure, as our carelessness/stupidity gets misinterpreted @VetHumanitiesUK @vhmdale @banse_heidi @Grim_Raspberry @vetmindmatters #ReflectionFTD
There's a cost to focusing on "objectivity"/"justice" that goes beyond needing to avoid "an eye for an eye, & a tooth for a tooth". As we dehumanise our processes by multiplying policies for dealing with human relations, we risk failing one another @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
As a young member @theRCVS I learned early the value of straight-talking about uncertainty & the peace of mind this brings. A no-nonsense owner said she liked me looking at sick horses as I either identified the problem or told her I hadn't a clue what was going on #ReflectionFTD
I've been reflecting on the importance of nuance in discussions since @saradwheeler's excellent https://t.co/XaSX24EYjc As AG says, its incumbent on us all, as well as #media & #educators, to see credibility in complexity. @DrSharonVarney @CBVetEd @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD
