Liggins Celebrated 21years since they were established on Tuesday 22nd Nov! ON TRACK Network's Director @DrKatieGroom spoke about the history of antenatal steroid use that began 50 years ago with Sir Mont Liggins. It's fantastic to see this impact on babies lives globally.
Celebrating 21 years since @AucklandLiggins was established yesterday!! 🥳 Great to hear the history of antenatal steroid use with Sir Mont Liggins 50 years ago and how this had led to the research we are doing now with the C*STEROID trial! @DrKatieGroom

If the Government is asserting that covering dental care is ‘too expensive’ why then are basic prevention measures like a healthy food and drinks duty in schools not being urgently implemented? Prevention is always more cost-effective than cure.

This is a 20-minute film that will be part of the new website that I'm setting up. It's about "power for change": I talk about some of the models & frameworks that I use the most in my practice as a change leader & facilitator: youtube.com/watch?v=wvO3NNmB…

A powerful way to rethink imposter syndrome. Flip to a growth mindset: "The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn". Thank you @tnvora

If you are a member of @ASMSNZ please fill in the survey sent around today on the future intentions of our SMO workforce. It is important to understand/demonstrate where we are now if we are to lobby effectively for the changes we need to see for the future of our workforce.

Yes @RACSurgeons has reduced training fees for part time training. Also, recently trainees are also eligible to apply for financial hardship provisions for a fee relief or loan which is reviewed on a case by case basis. Happy to assist any SET trainees navigate this – at Christchurch City, New Zealand

A toxic boss stabs you in the back. A selfish boss holds you back. A supportive boss has your back and propels you forward. Even more than performance, great managers invest in people. They promote your growth and well-being. A leader's duty is to care. tedtalks.social/WLAdam

Dr Anne Robertson: “When it comes to sexual health and sexual assault services, there is not always a lot of community advocacy. Therefore, professional health bodies have to provide that advocacy.” Congratulations Anne! ⁦⁦@ASMSNZ⁩ stuff.co.nz/national/health/…
