44 | Dr. David Spriggs on followership, transitions & medical error

Dr. David Spriggs trained at St. Andrews and Manchester in the United Kingdom. He returned to his hometown of Newcastle for advanced training, and spent two years doing stroke research, of which one year was a fellowship in Sydney. On returning to the NHS, he realised his error and has since become an NHS refugee in Auckland, practicing as a general physician and geriatrician. His interests include post-graduate education, error in medicine, healthy ageing and Stroke. He describes himself as an optimistic sceptic and does not believe in the “Evidence Based” paradigm.  He loves his family, his dogs, his garden,  his fishing and a good, non-fiction, book. In this episode, we discuss his passion for medical education, the importance of good followership, the significance and prevalence of medical error and his own experiences of it, career sustainability and burnout, medical transitions from school to housemanship and residency to consultancy, and the fallacies of evidence-based paradigms. As always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at [email protected] credit:Bliss by Luke Bergs https://soundcloud.com/bergscloudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/33DJFs9Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/e9aXhBQDT9YSupport the showAs always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at [email protected].
