Who’s on your bench?

As healthcare professionals, expertise matters; but so does the support system behind it.

Your career isn’t shaped only by what you know, but by who helps you think, decide, recover, and grow through each stage of it.

In the final episode of the LEADderm mini-series, we explore the “bench” every high performer needs and why no one succeeds alone.

We’re joined by clinician Dr Jennifer Soung and business leader Nita Nautiyal to unpack how the right people around you can influence resilience, decision-making, and long-term wellbeing.

We discuss:
• The five roles that strengthen your personal and professional support system
• Why connection is an essential career skill, not a soft extra
• How intentional relationships shape how you respond to challenge
• Why events like LEADderm can be a great starting point for building your network

Take a moment to ask yourself: who’s on your bench and who’s missing?

📱👀 Give your eyes a break

With increased screen use in daily life, digital eye strain has become increasingly common. Simple habits can help reduce discomfort and support eye health - including regular breaks, focusing on distant objects, and ensuring good lighting.

Healthy lifestyle choices such as physical activity and balanced nutrition also play a key role in reducing risk factors for eye disease, including diabetes and hypertension.

This Healthy Vision Month, small changes can help protect your vision long term.

📢 ARVO 2026: AI model demonstrates high accuracy in retinoblastoma detection 👁️🤖

At ARVO 2026, Dr Swathi Kaliki presented an AI model designed to detect and classify retinoblastoma using fundus imaging alone, demonstrating high accuracy across diverse patient populations.

The findings highlight the growing potential of AI-driven tools to support earlier diagnosis, improve screening and expand access to specialist ocular oncology expertise, particularly in resource-limited settings.

In this interview, Dr Kaliki discusses the development of the model, the importance of diverse datasets in AI training and what these advances could mean for future clinical practice.

☀️ Protecting your eyes from UV exposure matters

Just as UV radiation can damage skin, it can also harm the eyes. Long-term exposure increases the risk of conditions such as cataracts and other ocular surface disease.

Wearing sunglasses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays, even on cloudy days, is a simple but effective way to reduce risk and protect long-term vision.

This Healthy Vision Month, we’re highlighting everyday steps that support lifelong eye health.

👁️‍🗨️ Regular eye examinations are essential for protecting vision

Many eye diseases develop without early symptoms, meaning vision loss can occur before patients realise there is a problem. Comprehensive dilated eye exams remain the most effective way to detect disease early, when treatment is most effective.

Eye care professionals can also help tailor screening frequency based on individual risk factors.

This Healthy Vision Month, prioritising routine eye checks is a key step in protecting long-term eye health.
