      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Dr Kirsty Crowe and Dr Aoife Duignan delve into the challenges and rewards of becoming a parent while working in the medical field. They explore crucial topics such as navigating maternity and annual leave, breaking the news to your employer, and the logistics of returning to work. The discussion also covers the importance of keeping in touch days (KIT), understanding your rights in the workplace, and the resources available to support breastfeeding and arranging childcare. Dr Crowe and Dr Duignan share insights on managing antenatal leave, handling illness during external childcare, and calculating accrued annual leave, offering practical advice for balancing parenthood with a demanding medical career.

Dr Kirsty Crowe is a specialty registrar in renal and internal medicine based in the West of Scotland. She is deeply committed to enhancing medical education, particularly in addressing barriers that hinder patient engagement with healthcare.

Her interests extend to supporting the inclusivity and wellbeing of trainees, a focus she explored during her Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellowship with the NHS Lothian Medical Education Directorate and the GMC. Dr Crowe is also actively involved in networks that support renal trainees in engaging with quality improvement and research activities.

Dr Aoife Duignan is a specialist trainee in geriatric and general medicine in South East Scotland. With a strong commitment to representing her peers, she has previously served on local and regional trainee committees and held the position of Vice Chair for Representation on the Trainees and Members' Committee (TMC). Dr Duignan has a history of organizing Core Medical Trainee teaching and currently oversees the regional Geriatric Medicine training days. Her interests lie in enhancing the quality of internal medicine training, fostering near-peer support, and providing guidance for those planning maternity leave, returning to work, and undertaking Less Than Full Time (LTFT) training.

-- The Seven Acts of Allyship --

Appetite – Do you have the appetite to immerse yourself in the complex, emotive world of race equality?
Ask – Ask questions about race, be curious, read, learn and educate yourself.
Accept – Accept there is really a problem. More data aren’t needed.
Acknowledge – Openly acknowledge that the problem needs to be dealt with.
Apologise – Express sympathy that racism is affecting people of certain races.
Assume – Don’t. Instead develop informed views by seeking to understand individuals.
Action – Take demonstrable action steps to establish equality and be accountable.

      <description>In this episode, Dr Marilena Giannoudi finds out more about artificial intelligence (AI) from Dr Joshua Au Yeung. They discuss what AI means and Dr Joshua Au Yeung explains how AI is used as a tool to help clinicians. They explore key skills that are needed to work in AI, such as coding, and Dr Joshua Au Yeung goes on to encourage anyone interested in AI to reach out to find out more and commit to the field as soon as they can.

Dr Joshua Au Yeung is a Specialty Registrar in Neurology working in London who recently undertook an Out Of Programme Experience (OOPE) as a Clinical Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence to gain a deeper understanding of AI in healthcare. This involved working with a team called "Cogstack" operating primarily in Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and King's College Hospital, an NHS-grown group that works to implement natural language processing (text-based AI) into clinical departments. 

Dr Marilena Giannoudi is a Cardiology Registrar based in Leeds. She is a member of the Trainees and Members’ Committee, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and is currently undertaking a PhD.
