that introduction. So yes, and imagine heart. I I'm a GP and there's a little part of me would profess in quiet places to be on academic. I'm really grateful to fill the team for the invitation to come and speak on to address this topic off. Treating the academics off tomorrow And I'm gonna wind a bit of a bit of a way around that I'm going to start with this and many vivia you know, this maxim that certainly I have used it. Whenever I was introducing looking after first year at our university, this maxim that 50% of what we teach you is wrong. Difficulty is we don't know which 50% it's ah, it's it's it is in some sense of joke, but actually it is true. I remember things we were told the medical medical students, which we no longer follow. So things change on this is idea about knowing and how we come to know things. Um, it's avoid high. We know. How do we know what we know? I'm high to be Come to know that and knowledge, as you know, has been democratized. Apparently, that is being democratized, you know, But we computer YouTube, all of the things that ways that we can learn on know things. And in some sense we have was Immerse yourself in this idea that there's a a a an area of knowledge that can be shared that can be defined in some regards. I think we have let a lot ourselves to believe that we can expect certainty on that. There is a well defined body off knowledge, but I want to put it to you that we should learned to challenge dogma on, actually learned a challenge, our own dogma, things that we believe to be true. And I believe that Is it at the center off of being academic? Fantastic talk, just knife from Michael on he at the end of it, he said. Are you interested in the scholarship of this? It's a bit of a stuffy word with interest in scholarship with this common get involved with this. I think that is really important. The world is changing, continues to change on it healthcare. We are aware off aging populations. They move towards police pharmacy, a multi mobility, frailty, loneliness, all these things which are impacting on the health off our communities, our populations on our countries around the world. Um, you may have come across the acronym V. You see? A careful how to say that Vica, but I'm not quite sure, but a VC A. This was coined by bandits. And now it's in 1987. To say the world that we're in is volatile, uncertain, complex, on ambiguous. And if he pulls out against this notion off knowing it was suggest that the things that we think we know, we maybe, should we should maybe challenge question challenging our own dogma. And of course, we have a very recent example, and we're still in the midst of it, of course, with all the trust in turns and changes that covert 19 has presented us with and everything also healthcare, health care, education, health care, clinical practice, um, accessing healthcare and highway way up. What is important. I've always been quite amused in some sense by the dissident claims that we seem to each MC almost side by side. The first one being when we get back to normal on the next one is it will never be the same again. Say it's accepted that that in some ways that there is the right things to take the right things to know. But I think we need to go beyond that and the thing I want to post. You have this idea off curiosity being curious, really challenging what we think we know. Curiosity, as P I J. Presented, is a child like this position. If you ever look at a child learning how to build with Lego or building blocks, and they approach it with with curiosity, they don't get a manual lighter and look for the steps. They push it with curiosity, and in some sense, I think we have a lighter cells to move away from that child like disposition. The curious, I think, really important. Disposition on pursuit. A. What we do in terms of health care. Andi on. But what best in healthcare? There is this claim that organizations which are interested in research, clinical research have better care, better quality on better patient experience. I think that reflect on some sense what happens with being with being curious. Dyke on Epstein in their article. Curiosity on medical education suggest that medical educators and I guess it should be all care educators should balance the teaching of facts, techniques on protocols with approaches that help students culture. So I cultivate unsustained curiosity on wonder. Beautiful word on wonder in the contacts rich and often ambiguous world off clinical medicine. Thomas Friedman, the Pulitzer Prize winning commentator, said that a combination off curiosity and curiosity, caution on passion, caution and surpasses the indicative potential off intelligence caution. So it's that idea of being curious, having passion on the combination of that, helping us to challenge dogma on her own dogma. Carol Dweck, the author off Growth Mindset, says that curiosity is something that we can nurture. So it brings it back to think about a boy, academics, academic, Madison, academics of tomorrow that the process, we're involved in education and training, and it's a continual process. I'm a qualified GP of your pregnancy for many years, but I'm still involved in updating myself and challenging what I knew and one of my guilty pleasures. And I'm not classically trained musician, but we'll make it. The pleasure's is to watch some YouTube videos off the celebrated conductor Benjamin Xander does these fantastic interpretation classes where he brings along young musical prodigies, people who have fantastic potential on. They studied really hard work really hard on their technique on, but they he did he go through a piece of music with um on. He watches very closely on when they get a bit of the music where they make him a stick or don't quite a Z had had hoped. You often see their face goes about funny and he said, Oh, you don't do that when we make him a stick What should we do? We should show it high, Fascinating on I believe those are they? Those are the words that we should want to force it ourselves when we want to nurture our curiosity without some fantastic talk. Today, Julie will mail. I think I've said that correctly talked about communication on relationships, and I think that this is so important in the world we're we're night at moving into. This is the network age, the age of integration on It's all about relationships and communication on. We have some wonderful examples in terms of scholarship, research, curiosity if you like, where this is happening on the grind up of so impressed a few weeks ago to hear a grip of young GP trainees who started on organization, which stretches across the UK and I for a search in primary care. It's called packed, but it's from the grind up and they say we're interested in in research, not just for ivory tars. It's something for everyone, and this is about nurturing curiosity. Helen Salisbury was booked us today about the scholarship of teaching in the use of real patients. Raphael Grossman A. Gives incredible selection off off initiatives, innovations, new ways of doing things. And he asked us all to stay curious on KRLD Okie I'm not quite in the snot be dresser territory, but the's of podcasts again, weakening our curiosity and lying us to engage in new ways of thinking. So it was given the title of training the academics of Tomorrow and You'll notice of side stepped it all together. But I actually believe that Trudy academics of Tomorrow actually starts within undergraduate even before undergraduate, but certainly an undergraduate health professions education. Um, we should be looking beyond just they. They described knowledge bits, which currently mix up that are perceived understanding of what we should know. We should nurture curiosity and challenge our own dogma about about things on interview it, as we heard from From From Michael on, of course, fantastic to hear from From From Blond Cardona's well, she talked about made and understanding history and being being curious as well. So on a sock, its its that journey, I believe starting, laying, find a shins at that very early stage in our health careers that that we can start the training of academics off tomorrow. So just to summarize an, um, have what we know is wrong least part of it. Knowledge is being democratized. We should challenge dogma, including our own. The world is changing aging multiple, better day and so on. It's volatile on certain complex, ambiguous we can't learn just from on a set off a scribe knowledge. Um, when we get back to normal, it's probably gonna happen. It will never be the same again. We should orient it ourselves to being scholarly, being curious on, uh, remember that that the curiosity cautioned with the passion portion will far exceed the intelligent question, and we should do this in networks on. One thing that covered has has taught us is as to tonight's fantastic conference shows us that these networks are way beyond just the confines of buildings, universities and or countries. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to speak tonight on diehard that you all will consider yourselves current on future academics. Thanks very much, indeed. Thank you so much, Professor Heart. What inspirational know to finish on. We've got time for one question from the audience. Anybody. Thanks for that. A very inspiring presentation. Um, a comment on it. So my my go to example for how bad things were in terms of cardiovascular disease 60 years ago is inflaming. Who died in his mid fifties from a STEMI. After smoking all the cigarettes in the world and eating all the cholesterol in the world. Um, so I was explaining this to a medical student. And so I said, I said, Do you know who wrote the James Bond books? His immediate response was, that's on the curriculum. So my heart goes out to the medical students with the volume of stuff. They have teo memories, and, um, that there's only so much space for curiosity at that point. Yes. I mean, I think you're right on. It's not that I was I'm not making the point that medical students come come into or any healthcare profession students committed. They're coarse on. Just sit around like the philosophy students just getting out of the window and stroking their their chins. Of course, not on my job I do. I would rather like to be a philosophy student on Do some of that. There is a quantum of body of knowledge that we have to acquire on be maintained on Do Keep updated. But suppose I'm making the point is that we definitely should set ourselves a task of always going beyond that on glass Inning things on. But I think those are the find A since I think off academics, which will take us to where we need to go for the future.
