Presenting at work sounds easy.... until you're standing infront of your colleagues with everyone looking at you. 😅

In this episode, Radiation Therapists Jason and Atiqah (our IDPC host!) share their experiences, challenges and lessons learnt from giving presentations at work and at conferences such as the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO). From preparing slides to dealing with stage fright, we talk about what happens before, during and after stepping up to the podium.

Whether you're a presenter pro or someone who gets nervous just thinking about speaking infront of a crowd, this episode has something for you!

Before any clinical practice makes its way onto the treatment floor, it undergoes rigorous research and evaluation. Every technique we use and every piece of advice we give our patients should be grounded in the best available evidence. That’s why research is such a vital part of delivering safe, effective and high-quality patient care.

Ever come across a clinical question that doesn’t have a clear answer? Or an existing process that you might want to improve? This could be the start of your research project!

Thinking about getting involved in research but intimidated by the IRB application? What about time management? Or maybe you’ve already started your project and are looking for tips to write or present your findings? Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered!

In this episode, we are joined by our Radiation Therapist colleague Shafiqah, as she takes us behind the scenes of her research journey. From designing her study to writing her abstract and presenting her work on the big stage, she shares with us the challenges she faced and practical tips that can help anyone interested in embarking on their own research journey.

Healthcare workers spend their lives caring for others – but who cares for them?

In this episode, we’re joined by our colleagues Zubaidah and Naafi’ah who share why mental health matters, the realities of burnout and healthy ways to cope.

We also discuss why seeking help is a sign of strength and not weakness and how we can all help to reduce the stigma around mental health. Whether it’s talking to a counsellor, spending time with loved ones or pets, or picking up a hobby, taking care of your mental wellbeing is essential.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a reminder that caring for yourself is just as important as caring for others.
