Morning handover in #ED.
Day team - it is beyond important to be positive, especially after the night team have had a busy, difficult shift. Think before you question - you weren’t there at 4am. Focus on the 99 positives, not the 1 negative.
Smile, take over, say goodnight.

I was asked to talk at #coda22 about 'Medical Ethics & Time' which is difficult to do without mentioning 'trying to do as much good for as many people as possible' - utilitarianism. You can't do this without mentioning Jeremy Bentham, which I did along with irrelevant anecdotes

An excellent few days at #coda22, learning from some incredibly inspirational speakers. So grateful to the @codachange team in getting the #netzero conference together.
Some insights from the last 4 days🧵:
7/
Some of the system constraints we all work in are so embedded into our culture that we have resigned ourselves to be a part of it. Question these continuously, work to change them - @purdy_eve

“Burnout is not an individual problem, it is a systemic one”
Lack of purpose & meaning, disempowerment and perceptions of unfairness are all important systemic factors - @lizcrowe2
