@DrEricLevi @GavinPrestonMD #doctors are doctors worse enemies! We are not united as a profession, we bully and undermine our own #Juniors and nurses and many are greedy. It is the duty if vast majority good doctors to uphold the progressionalism. We reduced harm to #patients by focusing on #patientsafety.

Never ignore difficult people. They are not difficult but they are different. Their values are different, their life experience is different. Understand them and listen to them and work with them. Who knows what you can learn from them. #Teamwork.

Bitter incidents of life make you either a bitter person or better person. Always try to be a better person as bitterness only kills you. #leadership humility, sense of humour, good friends and good beer is all you need but always stand up for your rights and others right.

@NHSMillion @DrD7x I am an immigrant given my life to #NHS sadly Immigrant doctors and nurses are not treated well in some part of #NHS. They suffer bullying racism daily and not protected. Happy staff - Happy patients. We must care for all staff and create kind caring culture and work together.

Two different types of #leaders. One who tells you what to do and bullies you to do it. Another tells you what to do, listens to your point of view and cares for you and asks how can we do it together what is right for our #patients #Leadership respect listen and do it together.
