to a short talk from medal themselves. So so bit about who the metal team are on. You know what? Where did they come from and why they're helping us today. So this will last. You know, we've got two, roughly 20 minutes lot. But if it's less than that, will have a little break or or we'll see. All right. I'm so hand over to fill him. He will explain a bit more. Thank you. Thanks, Emily. Just to say massive. Well, down to everyone who has joined here this morning. I was in your seat approximately 10 years ago on trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my career. The couple of years later was actually delivering one of the portfolio talks at this event. It's a wonderful event. I hope you've got so so much I'd of it today. My goal is to try on. It's been a little bit by our mission on also to help you figure out some ways in which you can automate some off the things you need for your career portfolio. A swell. This's Cambridge University. I went to great Cambridge University for a day on I, um actually applied for two jobs, and when I didn't really know what I wanted to do on, there were both in Cambridge. One was an academic clinical fellowship job in orthopedic surgery. On one was an academic clinical fellowship job in general surgery on I Got interviewed for both. Ironically, both were on the same day, which I thought was interesting on. But I went along, Teo the interviews on, But I sat in a room on I had Nothing like nothing on my CV for orthopedic surgery, and I had nothing on my CD for general surgery, and I sat in that room. My first one was an orthopedic interview that was in a very ground building up Cambridge. I answered questions, and they were asking me questions. Why? Why? I wanted to do orthopedic surgery. There was a professor and awesome surgeons behind the table, and I was trying to be so convincing, I was practically telling them that I was that I chiseled myself out of the womb. You know, I didn't have anything on my CV by so desperately. I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon on, but this is all I ever wanted to do in my career but didn't really have much to do for it. And then I had, uh um on academic general surgery, interview in the afternoon on so I wouldn't have a nice lunch on. I came back and I had not looked at the sort of exact venues. Very foreign advance on. I didn't quite clock. That was exactly the same room on I went back. Teo. My often in the interview, which was in general surgery and all that the team had done, was sort out one person on the panel on. Otherwise, it was exactly the same panel on The only thing that they said to start the interview was, Oh, you've had a sudden change of heart, have you for my general surgery interview on. But I I really don't know what what to do with my career, but I did end up pursuing a knockedem IQ career in surgery on. I was really forcing it to get on academic Joel in cardiac surgery. Uh, my my mission here is to to tell you, number one that surgery opens doors on it as an amazing career on Secondly, to kind of tell you a little bit by the journey to where we've got to. And high technology can kind of help you and some of the things that you need to do to get the things that you need on your CD in your portfolio for your job applications. I have a transition. Died of cardiac surgery into industry. I worked in Axis McCline was people medical director there on work on some technology whilst there, Teo help with medical education on and give me a really interesting taste for health technology. And actually, the thing in cardiac surgery that really got me out of bed in the morning wasn't necessarily the chopping ensuing, which I did love. But I really, really love the academic component off my job. And I love the innovation on my loved high. We could make a difference in a population with some interventions on. I could see that my time in industry as well. But what I also saw my time industry a zit was a global rule was actually the differences in healthcare. Treating internationally. I could see that there were some big problems that things weren't fair, that things and could be better on. It really inspired me to, um at ti really do something with technology to try and solve some of those health care training problems. What does that look like? What you know, when you started, put some numbers around one of those. What are those problems? These statistics and descriptions come from the World Health Organization. Explain that we need 18 million more healthcare professionals in the next nine years internationally. So if there's a workforce, crisis and healthcare, we don't have enough health care professionals. But equally the saying there are grieve deficiencies in the quality off the healthcare training that is delivered internationally, and they also say that there's in adequate training capacity. So we've got this toxic combination of we require more healthcare professionals, but we need to increase the calling at the same time on it's a problem that that is not far from the shores. It's not a problem that is someone else's problem. It's all of our problems internationally. By 2030 we need to weigh need soon anymore, getting million more doctors, but in the UK that that is 46 thighs, only 46 thighs and more doctors in the UK in the next nine years, the US requires 105,000 doctors, one million nurses. India requires 3.9 million healthcare professionals in addition to what we already have by 2030 to deliver what is being described as the greatest move towards universal healthcare that the world has ever seen. China actually required 185 of obstetricians alone in the relax a shin off their single child policy. What's even worse is that where there is the greatest meet, there is the least resource. So what medical school ratio looked like internationally? In the US, there's 1.6 million at one medical school for 1.6 billion per capita, and in Europe it's 1.9 million. So there's one medical school for 1.9 million people in Europe, 3.8 million in South Asia, five million in East Asia and 7.7 million in the continent of Africa. On there are 160 it amusing medical schools on the content of Africa. But some countries you don't have a single medical school where there is the greatest need. There is the least resource on even within high income countries that have a greeter have proportion of medical skills per capita. Treating isn't always fair. It's not always possible for the people who don't live in the cities to go to amazing courses. It's amazing to see over 150 people joining here and being able to benefit from that that level off accessibility. It's expensive. Traveling to courses and traveling to training sessions does cost money equally. Sometimes we can go live right if we have family commitments over on coal. Actually, turning up for a seven PM webinar isn't always an easy thing to do, even if it's a virtual. So we started to settle. But can we start solving some of these health care training problems? Can we make healthcare trailing more accessible? Can we help those who would otherwise never be able to attend an international conference or be able to attend international training sessions? Can we make some of those sessions available? So we started to do that way, started in 2020. What a year to begin. Can we make it more efficient and scaleable? Some of this stuff is tricky, right? When we started to dive into those problem, we saw organizations doing really interesting things, setting up a registration two in one place, emailing I assume Link and another putting a schedule somewhere else, recording maybe that zoom link and then having to dilute it afterwards because they only have one gigabyte storage on their resume. A coin sending another link to have feet, bike for manually doing certificates. And that may be adding another link. Teo. The recorded session afterwards on it was taking ours off busy healthcare professionals times to deliver one amusing teaching session. We thought, We've got to make this better. It's got to be more streamlined. It's got to be easy for the people who are doing this amusing job above and beyond everything else not need to. And so that's what we did. We built a tool that allies healthcare organizations to deliver their healthcare training end to end one police period from registration to schedules to reminding people about the event to joining the actual life call to the interactivity so actually automatically being able to make that available on demand for healthcare professionals who have, for whatever reason, not been able to make it so they can still benefit, that they can get feedback that they can automate there. Certificates, they can do poster holes. All of that stuff in 12 on our goal was to make healthcare education accessible to make it scaleable to make efficient way. We're doing this amazing job and we're able to do more so pride to be able to support the wonderful team that acid today, and in their course, was that looked like in six months. This is this is some of the work that we have achieved with with technology. We've seen it e thighs and teaching absolutes occur individual health care professionals attending events. We've seen 700 organizations use the system and we've seen at members off the healthcare community join from 166 countries. I only looked up the statistic this week on I pinched myself, actually good high many countries in the world, 195 if you include the Vatican and Palestine on on, I pinched myself up genuinely. How much of a difference that sort of technology can make. So how can you get involved? What? What can we do to kind of help some of some of the things that you need? So that you benefit, but also that you can make some of your teaching some of your education accessible to others. I'm actually copied us from the 2021 c. S. T. Portfolio, marking guidance What I need for my portfolio under the teaching sex and always 2020 to crib. It's not yet available, but these are the things that you can get 0.4 on your portfolio. I've worked with local tutors to design and organize a teaching program or a serious of sessions. 10 hunts organized teaching for healthcare professionals or students at a regional level. The same thing is the next one dying but at a local level the next one, Dine says. I have provided regular teaching for healthcare professionals or medical students over a period of approximately three months or longer, and I've taught medical students or other healthcare professionals occasionally. There's some extra criteria in there in the guidance. For instance, weapons, webinars and covert is taken into consideration when it comes, Teo covered 19. But doing that and doing efficiently is important, and this is one other thing that they say on that portfolio. Market guidance and I have evidence of formal feedback when we saw just the most time consuming thing for healthcare professionals to do, whether it's paper forms a couple of years ago, whether it's using one form and then trying to assimilate it all of your feet back into a single place digitally nine. Then it was this monumental nightmare, them trying to get some evidence for. For that feedback. There's not just all of the individual forms, some sort of and a cumulative evidence that you can actually put in your portfolio on. We realize that this was taking people a long time to do on. We needed to help people deliver teaching so that they were able to do efficiently, that they're able to do that scale on that they're actually able to treat more people. So we automated this little bit of, um, the process for you as the people who are delivering teaching so that you can actually design your own teaching feedback form so you can build start things. You can build feedback questions, free text drop times, whatever you're making your own right customers a complete form for your teaching session. You can use your fever it formed, implicated to try and see a few more time every time. But all the tools do that right. But what they don't do is provide you with, like, a really quick way that you could just get the document that you need for your portfolio. So under that teaching feedback section night, you can actually generate these lovely little one page Is that you could say, Here's the evidence of my teaching feedback for the course. You can actually put the name of the course on instead of metal here. It could be your name, right? So, actually, this is the teaching feedback for me or the course or whatever you were doing. And it can actually just automatically a nice little one page for you. So you just literally die load sticking your portfolio done for attendees actually automatically generates certificates as well. So you can see now, Mister Gere from assets Previous conference in March, which was really amusing, Onda and and also we we thought, How can we scale us up? Is there any way that we can help you kind of reach more people with with your teaching on the tri brute idea is something that we have been trying to figure out how do we make the education that is being delivered that is, has become more accessible. That has reached 166 countries that 80,000 people have given thing back on. How do we How do we make that even more accessible to the people who can't make a webinar at seven o'clock at night? So people who are on call the people who just want to spend time with their family right, Like actually turning up at seven o'clock might not be on ideal situation? Many people don't have a good Internet connection. Maybe people have to join in a certain place to get the best Internet connection to actually join in on a virtual event. And so we actually built Try, try bruits tools. So a lying on one face to face so you can actually deliver a feast of this event and have some hybrid components with the old metal to you can deliver the life event three meddling you're seeing right now or three. Actually, if you can't make it to the face to face or the life virtual event, actually, you can watch back on demand still interact. I still claim a certificate afterwards on for the organizations. With people here delivering that teaching, you can actually collect feedback on it on demand, so you can actually add a teaching session. Klim. Your feedback on demand on it will generate nice little summaries for you on your portfolio. We're just getting going. We're a small team where team automatics and people who are passionate about technology on We're here to try and sold some big problems in healthcare. But we're here to support healthcare professionals. First and foremost, we've got some really exciting things coming down the line in the next month, which we can't get to share with you. But if you did want to to try to augment your feedback to try to get that nice whole summary, you can do that metal daughter work and just sign up on the system like you've done today on it's under trailing and then feedback, and you can start to generate your own feet bite forms. If you're part of unorganised a shin or you're delivering. Webinars is part of a Siris. Then you can actually set up on organizational kind, so you can add the content you consent up events. You could take registrations, all of that stuff metal little snacks, organization or on your profile in the left hand side. Just that Creon organization. When you have all of the tools you need to run a webinar Siris, I hope that helps. If you have any questions, were more than happy to answer them. Get everything you can I have today. I wish I had to tend that even two or three years earlier, because it's such a great event on by the very best of luck with with the rest of your surgical careers is an amusing career. I hope you enjoy every second of it. Thank you. Thank you. Feel that was that was a really interesting talk, actually on metal. And it's good to know, you know where the where they come from and he runs these things because we see a lot of companies going around. We don't know who's behind them, you know. Is it clinicians, is it? You know, and it seems like you've got the perfect balance of, you know, clinicians, technology, and really trying to sort of improve everything for everyone. Say thank you for sharing that that is a resource. I think you know, I can't. So So there's one question in the chest at the moment. And before we start the next talk, a 20 past Alex is put. Is metal free to use slash discounted for medical students at the moment? Yes, absolutely. On It's something that we've committed to going forward. So, yeah, absolutely. If you are a medical student running events, part of your society way we've helped help healthcare organizations up and down in the country and for undergraduate organizations completely free. No. Amazing. So So that's really good. That would have been super super useful, you know, going forward when you'll say surgical society events or anything like that. So yeah, thanks. And, you know, in the support we've had from you guys to run, this event is being exceptional was well, so thank you very much for, you know, putting it on this online platform. Yes, thank you. So So following this And we have a talk shortly. A neurosurgery and then
