Reason they joined ECCR in particular why you wanted to be on the Committee
I have a keen interest in supporting the careers of the next generation of cardiovascular researchers., The ECCR provides a forum for research into a wide range of cardiovascular diseases and thereby facilitaes communication across different disciplines.
Favourite book that you would recommend and why
“Karl Brandt: The Nazi Doctor”. This book documents how medicine and power were connected in the “Third Reich”.
Journals that you find interesting
National Geographic. Much more interesting than the medical literature…
Interesting articles
Presenting complaint: use of language that disempowers patients. BMJ 2022; 377 (doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2021-066720). A good reminder of how important communication is.
Something personal about yourself outside of work.
There is nothing unusual about me. But I enjoy any activities that involve fresh air – cycling, gardening, walking.
