NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention. At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem. Let’s dig deeper:

BUT: while better pay will help, its role in the NHS’s retention problem is often overstated. When a cohort of doctors who recently left the UK were asked what prompted them to go, they were ~2x as likely to point to workplace culture, burnout and stress as to financial reasons.

It was really nice to see doctorate students presenting their work on The Institute of Mental Health Research Day today. Delighted to see Natalie present her novel research on moral injury and burnout in UK police Dr Jade Kettlewell Uni of Nottingham School of Medicine #WeAreUoN

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness. The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement. Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.

Happy new year everyone (Gregorian Chants & Buddistic Shómyó) youtu.be/SKSenRzei3Q
