🛑 MYTH: “All SAS doctors want to become consultants.”

✅ TRUTH: Many SAS doctors are exactly where they want to be — and deserve to be recognised as senior, expert doctors

As doctors,many of us dread having difficult conversations with colleagues.

Join us in our brand NEW PODCAST with @annabav.bsky.social who explores the art of challenging conversations & how we can turn these experiences into opportunities for growth and connection.

NEW PODCAST!

The first episode of our new Why Medics Matter podcast comes out on Monday.

Amie & Simon interview the fabulous @annabav.bsky.social about turning challenging conversations into opportunities for growth & connection.

Keep an eye out for more!

Today, we're running our sexual and psychological safety workshop.

Employers now have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harrassment.

Education forms a large part of culture change.

It's easy to get caught up in the stress of everyday life.

The Christmas break has helped me reconnect with balance.

I focused on time with family and friends, engaging in hobbies and reminding myself that making time for these things is key to our mental fitness & the ability to do our jobs well.

Amazing time in the NorthEast and Cumbria working with SAS tutors and APD to review their strategic goals.

Privileged to spend the day with you all!

It's a big day for Simon, our CEO and Creative Director:

His last day as a clinical paediatrician!

From now on, he'll be 100% focused on DoctorsTraining, supporting doctors in their personal & professional growth.

Leaving clinical medicine is tough,
But what an exciting new chapter for him!

Let's talk differential attainment.

Evidence shows that doctors from ethnic minority backgrounds, international medical graduates & those with disabilities or long-term conditions have disproportionally worse outcomes from training compared to their peers.

Now is the time to address this.

Many of us dislike confrontation.
We put off difficult conversations, procrastinate, or sugarcoat what needs to be said.

Learning to facilitate these conversations is an important skill to develop as a doctor.

Tell me about a time you were given 'negative' feedback with kindness & support.

Hi 👋
I'm Jess, one of the faces behind this account.

I'm a paediatrician with an interest in wellbeing, leadership and culture.

I've recently taken on the role of senior consultant and engagement lead at @doctorstraining.bsky.social

Please say hello as we grow our community & share our thoughts.

Wellbeing isn't just about self-care and mental fitness.

It's also about finding purpose & meaning, feeling valued & having opportunities for professional growth.

We had a fab day at our workshop last week talking about SAS development & leadership. Such rich discussions

@sascollective.co #MedSky

Supporting neurodivergent doctors is about creating inclusive environments, about language & how we challenge stigma.

It's about celebrating strengths & adjusting environments for the benefit of many.

Thanks to @annabav.bsky.social for facilitating another great workshop
