Speaking
I aim to inspire, inform, and transform in my workshops and talks. All are individually tailored and suitable for non-technical and technical audiences alike.
Book me to speak at Promotivate speakers agency.
What I talk about
- Placebos and why we need them: Based on the research from my bestselling book Doctor You, I explain how your inner pharmacy, inner surgeon and inner psychologist work, and give you simple tools you can use to boost their power.
- The Philosophy of evidence-based medicine: How do we know that the tests and treatments our doctors give us work? In a word, it is because they are ‘evidence-based’. What many people don’t realise is that there is a lively debate about what good evidence is.
- Nocebos and why we need to avoid them: Nocebos are placebos’ evil cousins. They are the negative effects of believing something bad will happen.
- Empathy and why every healthcare consultation needs a dose of it: My research with thousands of patients has shown that positive empathic communication can reduce pain, morphine use, and length of stay in hospital while improving satisfaction with care and quality of life.
- Creating a culture of corporate wellbeing: Aimed at senior HR and corporate leaders, I explain why corporate wellbeing is more than something that will make you and your employees feel good; it will improve retention, recruitment, and productivity.
