After the Fifty-Minute Hour
A keynote built from the book of the same name. On what it means to protect the hour of clinical attention, and why the profession continues to fail to do so.
I speak at professional conferences, university programmes and clinical-leadership events across the UK and EU. Three signature talks; a short list of upcoming dates; booking via the form at the bottom of the page.
Twenty-two years in clinical practice. Sixteen years teaching. Eight years speaking.
Each talk is 45–60 minutes plus Q&A; travel-ready; can be adapted to the specifics of your delegates on request.
A keynote built from the book of the same name. On what it means to protect the hour of clinical attention, and why the profession continues to fail to do so.
On clinical supervision as a vocation in its own right, and the particular discipline of preparing the next generation of a profession.
A harder talk, delivered by request only — on returning to the consulting room after a significant personal bereavement, and what the profession owes its practitioners in that process.
Eighteen essays on clinical practice, chosen from a hundred written over two decades and arranged chronologically to make something like a memoir by accident. The talks draw from this material directly; delegates attending keynotes receive a signed hardback on request.
Send a brief by email or via the form. Include: event date and format, rough delegate numbers, which signature talk fits best (or describe what would), and any constraint (venue, catering around the talk, Q&A format).
I reply personally within five working days. Travel is arranged by my office; fees are available on request once the brief is clear.
