Psychological safety: Safety is not the same as comfort. A leader's role is not to protect their team from discomfort. It’s to protect them from harm - and to help motivate them to push through the discomfort and harness it for growth: https://t.co/curDMEBdEi By @shanesnow

Had an wonderful time at #ERS2022 in Barcelona - such a joy after spending most of my advanced training in lockdown/unable to go to face to face conferences. A particular joy to be there with the legend who inspired me to do respiratory/worlds greatest mentor.

A tribute to one of the giants of Emergency Medicine, Joseph Epstein: https://t.co/RY65kQqyY6 "His passion and energy for emergency medicine and his care and advocacy for his patients were second to none. Joe will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have come into his orbit."
