Jayne tells me all about:

- Her falling into an impromptu role of nurse at the prestigious Royal Ascot.

- Working with the RSPCA and animal welfare initiatives.

- How the problem of compassion fatigue amongst vets is reaching crisis point.

- Why burnout is different from compassion fatigue.

- The simple approaches and training that can transform the emotional wellbeing of workers.

- The problem of perspective that's leading Health and Safety initiatives to forget the important of MENTAL health.

- And more!

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Mahibur Rahman of online medical training platform Emedica.

A staunch supporter of doctors building a portfolio career, Dr. Rahman now runs the rapidly-growing online training platform Emedica, which connects budding GPs and medical students with the correct learning pathways for their chosen careers... and even those they'd never considered before.
