This took place at the Engineer’s House in Clifton. Over a hundred people from across the Faculty convened for a real treat of current and ground-breaking work across the educational spheres of the three professional programmes and of several of the Masters programmes running in the Faculty. Tim Dornan from QUB (Belfast) challenged us and our students on “Supporting the identity development of students of the health professions”. This was followed by a Year 1 MB21 who put us all to shame and did great credit to himself – Riki Msindo presented on “The implications of media depictions of medical professionals upon the public perception of doctors”. This was thought provoking and engaging.
Several poster sessions followed, with workshops in the afternoon. What was termed CPR Races took place in a room – supported by Laerdal, who make many of the resuscitation models. Individuals were invited to participate in a fun test of their CPR skills (correct rate, correct depth of pumping etc) and the picture below show one such – the green person is the clinical lead in the programme, David Grant, and curiously he beat the blue person (an ageing O&G prof) also called David.
