I know from a few peoples experience with ADHD and other neurodivergence it can be v uncomfortable on camera if you’re super fidgety etc, as well as being self conscious about this you end up constantly checking yourself on the camera and not actually listening to the teaching

Whilst the underlying issue is replacement of doctors, can we please not align trainee ACP’s with med students. They are already qualified HCP’s with years of experience now training for an advanced role. Not appropriate to replace cons, but on no par with med students!

A patient said to me today “I’m a, what’s it called, a container”. She meant a (CO2) retainer. It gave us both a good laugh, I’ve chuckled everytime I’ve thought about it since and, sometimes, it’s those little moments that help you through the day. ☺️

Depends on your own interpretation but if you find it offensive then make those boundaries clear, because it’s not a case of ‘Never in a hospital’ One of my colleagues often refers to us as “my girls”. It’s not offensive at all, it’s always a genuine friendly intention.

Part of the root of this issue is staff wellbeing. Burnt out staff don’t have the mental reserve to take back to back students, trial new placement models etc. Trusts/depts looking after staff, supporting them & focusing on retention will help.
