“Seven alternatives to evidence-based medical education: how we actually teach” A thought-provoking @BMJ article reminds us: being a great clinician doesn’t automatically make great educators. Much of teaching is shaped by habit, culture, and time pressure — not just evidence. Worth a read #MedicalEducation & leadership. 📖 bmj.com/content/bmj/39… #EvidenceBasedPractice #HealthProfessionsEducation

Spoke with #PatientRepresentatives, #TrialManagers & #Researchers at the University of Leicester Clinical Trials Unitabout empathy in community engagement. When people feel disconnected from research, trust erodes. Empathy helps us design research with communities — not just for them. #Empathy #ClinicalResearch #healthequity4all @a_bennettweston @Dr_L_Keshtkar @Empathy_Centre @OxEmCare @UniofLeicester @LeMedSchool @SIPSplacebo @ARC_EM @NIHRresearch @NIHRARCs @LboroCLiMB @EACH @UCSDCompassion

EMPATHY & THE OLYMPIC GAMES Inspired by Kirsty Coventry at the @milanocortina26 opening ceremony. “Strength isn’t just about winning – it’s about courage, empathy and heart.” A powerful reminder that #Strength = #Courage + #Empathy + #Heart ❤️ As I tell my kids: do your best, have fun — that’s winning. #Olympics #MilanoCortina2026 #Leadership #Values #Inspiration #Sport #OlympicSpirit
