Had the privilege to talk with fellow pregnant doctors about their experiences this past year. We hope this does justice to our amazing colleagues https://t.co/gO8KtcZi0J @bykatewomersley @DrHelenHare

[FY23 🩺 @EmergencyMedDr]

Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

Positive feedback is essential to motivate trainees, reinforce what’s going well, and encourage repetition. But has the volume become overwhelming? @bykatewomersley @KARipullone https://t.co/InFN3sHdyY

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@WhitmirePhD @bykatewomersley @bmj_latest Thank you Luke - yes, we will try; there have been a few suggestions of how we can expand the topic, e.g. to look at how practitioners with disability are treated in feedback too.

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@kilted_medic @bykatewomersley @bmj_latest OMG

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@AntiWheatGirl @bykatewomersley @bmj_latest I was also on the receiving end of this particular well-meaning 'feedback' as a medical student.

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@LiangRhea @bykatewomersley @rosieICM @bmj_latest We are finding that 'professional' is a very common euphemism covering for all kinds of bigotry - Will touch on this in the piece!

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@kfinmccarthy @bykatewomersley @bmj_latest That is shocking.

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

My next piece with @bykatewomersley for @bmj_latest is on feedback. Have you received useful/useless/offensive feedback during training as a doctor or nurse? Do you feel feedback was influenced by your gender or race? #whatwedonttalkabout

Medical students now all have to have formal resilience training. But is resilience a trainable skill? @bykatewomersley @KARipullone https://t.co/SR1mTHhju2

[Clare Gerada @ClareGerada]

Great article showing the serious flaws of resilience training which is a non evidence based intervention based on an assumption that ‘something must be done’. ⁦@gmcuk⁩ - why did you introduce this? https://t.co/a3QqkOO6Kd

[Martin Powell @MJPowellUK]

@mihaelabucur10 @bmj_latest Resilience is a complex construct, often ill-defined and used (inadvertently) to shame staff for not being”strong enough” to cope with unlimited levels of stress/adversity. Similar findings in recent review with Palliative Care Nursing: https://t.co/UVA7Bd8L6K

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

@CarolineBaldARU @bykatewomersley Thank you - so heartening to receive the response we have. We agree there is a common rhetoric around resilience across so many services - we want to talk about this in our next pieces in this series.

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

My latest piece in the BMJ with @bykatewomersley - 'What we don’t talk about when we talk about professionalism: Resilience'

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

Thank you for reading and circulating our piece! I have worked in Lebanon and am so happy to be able to continue to build connections with doctors around the world

What we don’t talk about when we talk about professionalism: Resilience - The BMJ https://t.co/M9mUDxao5n

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"Can you detect resilience, let alone teach it, and does increasing the resilience of individual doctors—if indeed that’s possible—really improve patient care?" Two authors question the merits of mandatory resilience training https://t.co/SR1mTHhju2

[Dr Katherine Ripullone @KARipullone]

Thanks Clare - it means a great deal to us to have senior doctors supporting our desire for change
