There's lots of guidance for leaders on "listening with empathy". This research-based article says much of it (based on the idea of "walking in others shoes") is problematic. "Walking in shoes" gives us a clear picture of how we would feel if we were the other person but not how they actually feel. Researchers call this "perspective-taking". Instead, we should stop treating empathy as a solo sport & engage in "perspective-getting" - empathising collaboratively. Every conversation is a joint project, done best when we make space to learn from one another: https://t.co/1ozSZiB167. By @zakijam

How should we approach our role as leaders? By emphasising our competence, strength & experience? Or by establishing trust through warmth and understanding? The authors of this classic article say we need to do both but we should start with building trust. Multiple studies in the ten years since this article have backed up the importance of relationships and connections as the foundations for effective leadership. https://t.co/nVBuLcv2T1 Graphic: @tnvora

If you suspect a stroke in a child, please call ASAP. It’s a big decision to do or not do a CT and CTA (don’t forget the CTA!), so let’s make the decision together.

The power of research

[National Institute for Health and Care Research @NIHRresearch]

The NIHR-supported RECOVERY trial has shown that dexamethasone, a steroid, significantly reduces the risk of dying from #COVID19 for seriously ill patients requiring respiratory intervention - a major breakthrough https://t.co/KITpXiUcMr

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

NHS patients across the UK will now receive dexamethasone which has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of death for those who require oxygen.
