Compilation Episode 3

This is a bonus longer episode; a compilation of episodes 11-16 of the podcast so you can listen to them back-to-back.

3:06 Episode 11 - Connection

We are all bound by the connection of treating patients and working in healthcare. Why do we forget that at times? And how can we improve that connection.

9:50 Episode 12 - Mindfulness

Is mindfulness still a dirty word in your mind in healthcare?

This episode explores what I feel it means in real life and I look at practical mindfulness techniques that you can undertake anywhere at anytime in healthcare - however busy or distracted you might be.

20:27 Episode 13 - Reflection

Reflection is defined as serious thought or consideration. How often do you give episodes of work 'serious thought or consideration'?

Reflection can be used positively to enhance your work and improve your learning. In this episode I talk about how reflection can easily be added to your thoughts about work beyond being a forced written piece for your appraisal.


31:56 Episode 14 - Education

Two definitions of education: "The process of receiving or giving instruction" or "An enlightening experience". Some thoughts on that definition and what I feel are the key components to bear in mind as an educator: Engagement, Understanding and Remembering.

PS A slip of the tongue at 12:11 when I refer to Maslach's Hierachy of Needs ... I was conflating Maslach's Burnout Inventory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslach_Burnout_Inventory)and Maslow's Hierachy of Needs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs).

43:19 Episode 15 - Charity

This episode originally aired just before Christmas and that time of year always makes me think of charity and how lucky and privileged I am to have the life I have, and how so many people rely on charities for the basics of human life of warmth, food and education.

In this episode I explore the benefits to healthcare workers of working with, raising money for or donating to charities; reflecting a bit on my time with the Calendar Lads of Northumbria.

51:02 Episode 16 - Christmas

As healthcare professionals we know we are going to be working at some point over the Christmas and New Year period.

In this episode I reflect back on what Christmas has meant to me working clinically over the years.

I leave you with a link to a funny Christmas song which does contain some offensive lyrics, but I think it sums up nicely how to conduct yourself in this festive time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmoG4JY_T58
