Blogs
I have previously written blogs with the aim of sharing information or stimulate thinking about coaching and mentoring for doctors.
Subjects were usually triggered by the people I've coached or the groups I've facilitated.
Many are focussed on the non-clinical aspects of a Doctor’s professional life and especially, the leadership and management agenda.

Books
Good friend and ex-work colleague Professor David Sowden reviewed some books for me.
