58m
In this episode, Dr Will Duffin, Education Lead for World Extreme Medicine, discusses the concepts of ‘fear-based’ and ‘courage based’ medicine with senior leader and clinician Dr Kathy Ryan. Kathy is the Medical Director of Brisdoc Healthcare Services, the largest provider of primary care services including Integrated Urgent Care in the greater Bristol area, UK.
Kathy is passionate about how we hold clinical risk and make good decisions and promotes ‘courage based medicine’ in everything that she does. There is a pressing need for this dialogue as we adapt to new working practices in the pandemic. The last medical, academic paper we could find on courage dates back to 1909!
