I was surprised & honoured to be proposed for Honorary Membership of BEVA. When I think of my heroes from the past who have received this honour, I can hardly believe that I am considered to be a part of that group. @BEVA_news #bevacongress @BEVAPresident bevacongress.org/post/honorary-…

@jenny_routh Interestingly, it's from John Gamgee's inaugural address ("On the study of veterinary medicine", 1857) at the opening of the Edinburgh New Veterinary school, pp. 7-8 @RCVSKnowledge @AndrewGardiner2 @vhmdale @VetHistSoc #VetEd #VeteterinaryHistory @RoyalVetCollege @VetHumanitiesUK

@StephenMayVet Absolutely! As that quote eludes to, a prime example is that experiential learning is not a new idea and learning through work predates universities..

Also important to follow evolution of #VetEd ideas, e.g. "We have to learn chiefly by enlightened observation and experience, availing of all that may be gleaned from the history of science, and of all the resources with which nature has individually endowed us." John Gamgee 1857

Smith 1776, Wealth of Nations? “It is the highest impertinence & presumption..in kings & ministers, to pretend to watch over the economy..They are themselves always..the greatest spendthrifts in..society..If their..extravagance does not ruin the state..their subjects never will.”

I love a page of @KateRaworth Doughnut Economics which I randomly opened re government involvement in the economy. Sounds about right @StephenMayVet @SeanWensley @r_chadwick99 apposite!

Good discussion of inadequacy of "Gold Standard" as single solution description of care, @theRCVS @ViVetUK GP focus. Generalism is true #EBVM in that it recognises needs of patient/client & context of care. @RCVSpresident @RCVSKnowledge @VetHumanitiesUK @vetmindmatters @CBVetEd

@theRCVS @k_8richards EPAs make sense to clinical mentors & learners as they are authentic real-world tasks that can be selected to suit the day-to-day activity of the recent #veterinary #graduate with developmental feedback focused on improving outcomes @theRCVS @CBVetEd @LindaPRESCOTTC1 @banse_heidi

Giving an overview of the VetGDP, @k_8richards mentioned the growing bank of EPAs available, the hour a week input required from VetGDP Advisers, and the collection of (anon) data to help understand new grad progress & views and how they can be better supported. #RCVSrqt

I was checking some details of the history of @theRCVS & realised the @Vet_Record detailed a/c of the first 100y was published 77y ago today, a year late due paper shortages & production difficulties in 1944 - a reminder of past struggles @RCVSpresident @RCVSKnowledge @VetHistSoc

WW reflects on how we get dragged down by trivia & the daily grind, but sees us as being rescued by vivid memories of great moments when we have risen to external challenges! @vhmdale @banse_heidi @Grim_Raspberry @HalehMoravej @VetHumanitiesUK @RCVSpresident #ReflectionFTD

Being completely open to the pain of others can come at great cost to our #wellbeing, & make us want to avoid such encounters. #Empathy must understand others, but recognise boundaries, so we can support at the same time as protecting ourselves. @VetHumanitiesUK #ReflectionFTD

In early recognition of the value of the #VeterinaryTeam, for foot lameness in horses, JG emphasised the importance of #Veterinarians & #Farriers working together. @RCVSKnowledge @theRCVS @BritishVets @CBVetEd @VetHumanitiesUK @VetHistSoc #ReflectionFTD

More than 100 y before Sackett started to emphasise the #complex synthesis of knowledge, skills & experience with scientific evidence that makes up #EBM, JG was drawing these strands together as important in #veterinary education @RCVSKnowledge @VetHistSoc @CBVetEd #ReflectionFTD

Hope is essential in providing everyone with the motivation to achieve their aspirations. However, hope is not unfounded optimism. In extremis, optimists may die of a broken heart. jimcollins.com/concepts/Stock… Hope recognises reality, but has sound end goals to realise. #ReflectionFTD

Given the destructive urge of many to highlight others weaknesses in order to undermine them, it takes considerable courage to forge meaningful relationships by sharing our uncertainties/vulnerability @brenebrown @VetHumanitiesUK @vhmdale @banse_heidi @HalehMoravej #ReflectionFTD
