Leeds university logo changes –

The University of Leeds has always featured in my life in one way of another...

- When I was 18 years old, being interviewed for my undergraduate degree at different universities. I came to Leeds University, had a great day and got slightly nervous during one my interviews as my interviewer was an extremely good looking professor!

- Attending lectures with my other fellow medical students at Leeds University.

- Popping in and out of the adjacent hospitals near Leeds university, when Aishi was ill

- Now I’m back here doing my doctorate :)

We all change over time and so has the university over the past few years. Whilst searching for a logo to put onto my work, I found a number of the old logos, the various changes it underwent and the final product.

They’re phasing out the individual school logo’s now; good and bad.

I honestly can’t decide which I prefer.

Oops! I didn’t watch it myself but oh my, did I hear about it... a lot! Newspapers, TV reports, family discussions, even meeting up with friends. The guy is definitely getting the attention he wanted... probably just not the type he wanted ;)

Raising doctors the beta way

You see what I* did there? Ok… well I thought it was good, meh!

We got an email recently telling us about how although Facebook and Twitter are becoming a growing trend in society, we should be mindful of the way in which we use them in our lives both professionally and personally. And I suppose this applies to everyone regardless of their chosen careers.

It seems that in the medical area, Twitter is acceptable for say sharing opening hours etc, but not consultations or having personal conversations with your patients which obviously is wrong and lacks common sense.

I’ve know classmates in previous years who have got into trouble for posting certain Facebook updates which may contain personal details of other people (very rare occurrence) or perhaps adding the relatives of a patient as a ‘friend’ on Facebook (weirdly more common, especially with guys – sorry to be stereotypical!)

I think it goes without saying that – yes, technology is useful but we should be careful about how and when we use it. I particularly like this final article 'Raising doctors the beta way' – a clever title, which I borrowed for my post :P

* I say ‘I’ but I actually borrowed the title from this article ;p
