You're gonna LOVE this one! I was lucky enough to interview Elizabeth Weeks-Rowe, LVN, CCRA. We discussed the Investigator Site File when she first got into the industry as a study coordinator to the Sponsor TMF when you are a CRA. One of the things I really appreciate about this episode is, how she keeps it genuine, explaining why reading a monitoring visit report is crucial, especially from a TMF perspective. https://lnkd.in/eFGv2hmj

The term Junior Doctor has always seemed a little strange, suggesting that the holder is newly qualified, or inexperienced. The medical equivalent of the green P label new drivers use. A Junior Doctor however could have been practicing for years, some Junior Doctors have a decade of experience under their belts, and there are around 50,000 Junior Doctors in the NHS. What it means is that the Doctor is still training (some specialties can take up to 8 years to achieve), but that Junior Doctor could have more experience than the consultant you're seeing too. The change in title from Junior to Resident Doctor will hopefully remove the confusion many people have when reading about Junior Doctors, reassure patients that they are seeing an experienced practitioner, and provide a better reflection of the skills and responsibilities these qualified practitioners have. #nhs #juniordoctor #residentdoctor #bma

We're celebrating our advanced practice clinicians this week. Meet Colin Williams, a pharmacist clinician with our Complete Care Program. Q: What drives your passion for practicing medicine as an APC? A: We have an opportunity to make a real difference in our patients' lives. Whether it's sharing our knowledge or advocating for them, or sometimes simply listening - what we do can really help people, and that's a great feeling! Q: What is the number one question you are asked as an APC in your specialty? A: My diabetic patients frequently ask, “what can I eat?" Maintaining a healthy diet can be difficult for many people but when you throw in extra parameters like carb counting or salt restriction it can be a real challenge. Q: What personal strengths do you feel you bring to your current role? A: I think it's enthusiasm and not being afraid to try new things! Q: What's the best advice you've ever received? A: You should treat everyone the way you'd like to be treated. Q: Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know? A: My go-to karaoke song is “Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. Q: What do you like to do outside of work? A: I'm probably up for trying just about anything! But most of all I love to cook, read, and spend time with my family.

Reminding myself that feelings aren't facts can be challenging, especially when those feelings feel undeniably true. I know that it's crucial to maintain perspective, to sometimes curb my enthusiasm, particularly as engagement levels rise and people are taking notice. I know that feelings aren't facts, but how I feel when I see the nursing profession embrace technology and the novel idea of using CDS tools to support nurses at triage in the emergency department, I try to keep myself grounded (because it really makes me feel full of glee). As you know by now, I have strong feelings about this work that I do. I remind myself of this fundamental truth: feelings aren't facts. It's a mantra that helps me navigate through the complexity of emotions and what can seem like an unusually long sales cycle. It helps to ensure that I maintain a more reasoned approach when interacting with potential clients. Feelings aren't facts, but I know that we are on to something, and I can't wait to watch it unfold. What a privilege to work with the team at Beckman Coulter Diagnostics.

Yesterday I attended a course about the advanced clinical skills in shoulder assessment with Mr. Jaleel Mohammed. The depth of knowledge shared was truly insightful and applicable to practice, it emphasized innovative thinking in PT diagnosis and expanded my perspective. #PhysicalTherapy
