If you’re at #ICRE2025 and want authentic, candid, glorious conversations, you should chat to these folk

If they’re busy…I guess, I’ll be there too

An excellent few days at #CCIM2025

Learned a lot
Met some excellent humans

Spoke about important things like what it means to *be* a surgeon & what the future might look like

Also about speaking truth to power, making mistakes, & why culture change isn’t a “would like” but a “must have”

Excellent stuff coming out of @cpoc.bsky.social in 🇬🇧

As a past Board member with a focus on workplace culture, very cool to see this work continuing.

A hard day for all who were involved in 7/7

For the victims and patients. For the families

And for those of us who were very very busy that day.

My mum (below), on the family WhatsApp, as she remembers knowing I was working/studying at the Royal London that day

A superb & (I think) brave piece by @rugbymd.bsky.social in @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social Bulletin

Those of us who advocate & work hard in the #diversity and #inclusion space aren’t stopping any time soon

Relaxing on a day off by re-reading my PhD & some old workshop presentations before my @ranzcp.bsky.social talk on competency-based assessments…..

…….you’ll absolutely never guess what I’m gonna say about single episode high stakes exams

A busy day of #handsurgery before a restful weekend

Not an easy one, but a great teaching/training case

I have received a very thoughtful gift.

A 1L cafetière

One litre of coffee is the right quantity of coffee

Sometimes you just gotta spend a day in the bush

Tomorrow, back to laptop and admin and adulting

For now, QLD country and dreams of a new 4WD car (soon)
