Dr Nicola Davis

Anyone know of any medical education events/ conferences I could do to this year?

Thanks for sharing Anna this is beautiful
@remajyo.bsky.social you would like this too

Really enjoyed a watercolour workshop painting tulips in the sunshine last week!

A cat on the lap definitely helps an mdt discussion when working from home!

Anyone going to oncology forum this year? Trying to work out if logistics of getting to Harrogate are manageable!

I’m looking for the medical type?!

Are you a doctor and do you like writing poetry? If so get in contact as I have a little medic poets group on Facebook I’m keen to find new people to join!

The beauty and simplicity of bluebells in spring 🥰

Thank you Rema

Thanks Anna, I’ve definitely got it on my to do list to organise some open mic zoom events!
Nice to meet you on here Nick, hope you do find some time for poetry & do come find us @crxeate.bsky.social

I’ve looked this one up Anthony & it’s looks right up my street, thanks for the suggestion, I think it’s a good one for the book club!

Love this about being an expert - ‘always aware they could do things better’

Thank you to everyone that attended & shared including @remajyo.bsky.social @bethosmond.bsky.social @gitaralleigh.bsky.social

Last night hosting the @crxeate.bsky.social drs poetry event was just magical. A wonderful evening of words, connection & creativity. Thinking of hosting a regular open mic night for medics now!

Please do join in with this book club I help run!

Yes on the list for future!

It’s good to look ahead and feel hopeful but sometimes it’s also ok to take each day as it comes, even each moment!

#happynewyear

I managed only a little more watercolour, tried out my alcohol inks for 1st time. This year I would like to try Lino printing and calligraphy!

I’m talking about my fave books of 2024 & books I want to read next year on this amazing podcast, accompanied by some other great people talking about their recommendations too.
Definitely worth a listen!
