This is what research should look like. Clear clinical focus. Unafraid to challenge orthodoxies. Rigorous and without the soft bias’s that infect so much of the evidence base 🫡

The senior clinician has felt increasingly demoralised - good pay and seniority makes us a difficult group to feel any sympathy for. BUT. Burn out rates are high, there is a brain drain and retirement and 60 increasingly planned. 👇

Nearly 50% of UK cardiologists are over 50 - do the maths! Keeping our profession “in the game” in later years is vital for 1) us as professionals 2) our younger colleagues ( otherwise they do the work) 3) our patients who will miss out on all those many years of experience 👇

There is no one size fits all Come and learn about the issues and options, explore and shape solutions and socialise with colleagues in the same boat!

It is too easy to forget the courage and service ( and in some cases sacrifice) of foreign / war correspondents Mark Urban - big respect!
