So, a lot seems to have happened in the last week or so. I am continually astonished how doors seem to keep opening if you come from a place of genuinely trying to help others. As many of you know, I've been trying to get my hands on APIs which would allow my software to… Continue reading NHS Startup Part V – Gateway

Steer The Ship
I can't help but feel introspective as of late. I am in my last post as a junior doctor before finishing my post grad. There's only a year left of this course. During my time in hospital a lot of my seniors have often made passing remarks such as "oh, I thought you were a… Continue reading Steer The Ship
Trust
My girlfriend could destroy me. Literally, she has the power to break my heart and destroy me in so many ways. I trust her not to. Our relationship started off with us giving each other a little bit of trust. When we learnt that we were safe giving trust to one another, we kept on… Continue reading Trust
The War of Art – Steven Pressfield
"Creative Work is..... a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got" - Steven Pressfield I had that feeling to write a blog post today. There was a little voice in the back of my head. "It's too late, just go to bed"… Continue reading The War of Art – Steven Pressfield

It Will Hurt
Life is like a chronic disease. Chronic diseases are often indolent, progress slowly and culminate in a disastrous event which could kill you. Look at heart attacks. The vast majority occur because of an unhealthy lifestyle. You might not even realise what you are doing to yourself. A pizza here, a cookie there, a few extra drinks from… Continue reading It Will Hurt
“Let’s Have a Meeting About It”
Junior doctors rotate this month. The new graduates will start work and the people a bit higher up the ladder will move on to other places. This is a bit of a chaotic time in the hospital and stressful for the whole department. Usually it is a cacophony of going to inductions, trying to get… Continue reading “Let’s Have a Meeting About It”
NHS Health Startup Part III – The Dinosaurs
It's the age old saga. Seth Godin often talks about the music industry. It used to be perfect. In the 1960s you could buy a record and if you used it too much you'd have to buy another one to replace it. If you lent it to a friend, you wouldn't have a copy anymore… Continue reading NHS Health Startup Part III – The Dinosaurs
