About

me-speaking

My name is Robert Lloyd. I’m an Emergency Medicine trainee in London, UK. I’m unashamedly in love with my chosen specialty, golf, (watching) mixed martial arts, and talking loudly in front of large groups.

‘PonderMed’ is my passion project. I use it as a platform for reflection, idea-sharing, and clinical discussion. I’m particularly interested in #performance, #metacognition and #digitalhealth in the context of EM/critical care.

Reflecting on two months as a Sydney HEMS registrar

*Originally posted on the Sydney HEMS blog Uniform fitted. Induction complete. 10-mission milestone reached. It has been a learning frenzy.
