The Mindset Exchange Katherine Ashmore

Ever wondered what it takes to succeed as a surgeon beyond the technical skills?



Join host Katherine Ashmore as she chats with Orthopaedic Consultant Mr. Kash Akhtar in this week's episode. He shares his insights into the human side of being a clinician and discusses the qualities and challenges essential for thriving in the surgical field. Mr. Akhtar is a knee specialist and works at Barts Health NHS Trust, QMUL, and Cleveland Clinic London.



Key takeaways:

↪ Surgeons often feel the pressure to put on a brave face and there is a stigma surrounding mental health issues in healthcare.

↪The frequency of imposter phenomenon, stress and perfectionism working in healthcare.

↪ Effective communication and compassionate leadership are crucial in the surgical field.

↪ Developing a growth mindset and focusing on one’s own journey rather than seeking validation from others is key to success and fulfillment.

↪ Surgeons need resilience to get where they are and the balance can be hard.

↪ Managing patients in both the NHS and private sector requires careful assessment and tailored treatment plans.

↪ Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the success of surgical procedures.

↪ Complications though rare, can have a significant impact on surgeons.

↪ Dual consultant operating can enhance decision-making and improve outcomes for complex cases.

↪ True leadership involves lifting others up.

And more.
