Hello

Living With... Talks

Attending a professional conference, I felt there was a tendency to focus in on data and outcomes while overlooking the purpose this information was gathered to serve.  As clinicians, we're not just processing 'units' as efficiently as possible, we're doing our bit to help people live lives that are as personally fulfilling as possible. That makes our jobs rewarding but also complex and challenging. I wanted an opportunity to talk more specifically about these challenges.

The Living With... Talks are an attempt to provide this opportunity, but these challenges are not solely confined to the health profession. I wanted to broaden out the discussion and reach out to professionals from other fields and even from other disciplines entirely. I felt that we could learn from each other, be inspired by each other and support each other. Together, we might be able to step back, see the bigger picture, and remind ourselves what really matters - to all of us - in the end.
