94 - Michael Clifford - A paediatric intensivist willing to talk about his mental health
In this episode, you'll hear from a wise and thoughtful paediatric intensivist. Michael Clifford is a Paediatric Intensivist and Anaesthetist from the Royal Children's Hospital and Monash Childrens Hospital, Melbourne. Mike has recently finished his term as a CICM Examiner for both the Paediatric Fellowship and the CICM Primary exams. He is a keen teacher with a passion for the basic sciences and how they can inform our clinical practise. He sees every ward round as an opportunity for teaching the primary syllabus - and reminding non-paediatricians of the wonders of breast milk. He is a regular on the Paediatrica Intensiva podcast and has also appeared on Swapnil Pawar's ICU Primary prepcast. More recently he has become an open advocate of discsussions around neurodivergence and mental health in doctors in anaesthesia and critical care. In our conversation, Michael talks about: How he became a paediatric intensivist and why he loves it The essential differences between managing children and adults His thoughts on interacting with the parents of sick children How his ward rounds have changed His mental health experience in recent times Remembering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic What he’s observed with mental health awareness Modern adaptations to sick leave in doctors How he looks after his health The benefits of no longer drinking alcohol What brings him joy, particularly at work The value of a human-oriented approach to ICU care What older intensivists might do Career advice for trainees and fellows Thank you for listening to Dr Michael Clifford.

93 - Jeram Hyde - Teaching non-technical skills
My guest in this episode is Dr Jeram Hyde, an intensivist in Newcastle with a special interest in teaching non-technical skills. Jeram is the force behind an annual Trainee Education Day, run by the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, and which I attended this year. Jeram has been building this meeting over recent years from a single ICU’s annual meeting to educate their trainees on non-clinical topics like work-life balance, communication and civility to one that is now sponsored by the CICM and attracts people from all over the state of New South Wales. Apart from working as an intensivist, Jeram holds masters degrees in business and human resource management. In his free time he enjoys paragliding and rock climbing. We recorded this interview whilst I was in Newcastle and we talked about the philosophy of the Education Day, the benefits of teaching these non-technical skills, and how the meeting has grown. Jeram also talked about the fear that prompted his choice to become an ICU doctor, what he values in fostering team culture, and what he looks for when conducting interviews for ICU trainee roles. Thank you for listening to my conversation with Dr Jeram Hyde.

92 - Emily Amos - From burnout to educating doctors on mindfulness and wellbeing
My guest in this episode is Dr Emily Amos, a general practitioner and a passionate educator on mindfulness in Melbourne. Emily might not be an intensivist but she is a doctor with a powerful burnout story that led to her becoming an enthusiastic guide and teacher about mindfulness and self care. Emily has roles as a GP, a surgical assistant, a lactation consultant, a yoga teacher, a university tutor and a registered mindfulness meditation teacher. Her business, Whole Hearted Medicine, runs mindfulness & self care retreats for doctors. These immersive, CPD approved retreats offer doctors the chance to learn skills in mindfulness, meditation and self compassion away from both work and family pressures. Emily also blogs, speaks, podcasts, runs workshops, and offers several courses through her website www.dremilyamos.com. Emily provides excellent perspectives on burnout, wellbeing, mindfulness, stress management, life balance and psychological safety. On this episode, Emily openly shares her vivid recollection of the day her life fell apart, what she discovered about herself during her recovery, and, most importantly, how this fuelled her subsequent drive to guide and support people, including doctors, through mindfulness-based self care. Thank you for listening to Dr Emily Amos.
