Very excited to be part of the RCSI conference on 'Professionalism in a Pandemic: Lessons from COVID:19'. Brilliant to be hearing from Richard and Sylvia Cruess at the moment, emphasising training on how to think, act and feel as a physician. #MedProf21

Interesting to hear Profs Cruess and Cruess' emphasis on doctors' relative social isolation during social formation/training. Important to think about how the pandemic has affected this; and also how isolation relates to the formation of social contract/covenant. #MedProf21

We hope to treat human beings as if they were trees: slow-growing, in need of space and time and a nurturing surrounding ecosystem, every one full of latent majesty.
