is a flashback to two fantastic sessions we hosted with Tom from Medical Mavericks.
Opening up a world of those jobs and professions within the NHS that most people donโt know anything about!
Among other things we saw Tom doing an ultrasound of his carotid arteries, an ECG of his heart and watched him having a gastroscopy!
Tom @medical_mavericks has so many incredible resources on his website and in his academy. If you are interested in the world of hospitals, helping others and the medical profession but you are not sure in what capacity sign up to his early bird offer for the Medical Mavericks Academy and you will be able to see some great videos to give you some ideas.

When you think of a Nurse, what do you think they do?
They're not all the same you know! There are loads of different specialist Nurses and in this short clip, you'll hear from Davina who is an amazing Cancer Research Sister who helps care for patients who are are brand new drugs that are in the final phases of patient trials.
It is a tough job as some of the patients may have gone through traditional treatments that have not worked and of course this is science so we have to have fair trials and some patients may be on the placebo...
Check out what Davina has to say and keep an look out on how you can access more videos like this in The Medical Mavericks Academy V2.0 very soon.
PS: Davina is doubly amazing as she is also my wife!

What's everyone up to over Easter? Looking for something to do with the kids?
Well... we've put together a brand new show called The Senses Show which we'll be broadcasting via a Live Stream directly into homes across the UK throughout the Easter holidays!
During the show we'll show you how to perform at least 8 mini experiments on yourselves and each other to explore your senses and some of the weird quirks of the human body!
We show you how to do it, you try it and then we explain the science!
You'll discover if you have a spare part in your arm, see things grow and shrink in your vision, make your arms float up into the air, see a hole through your hand and much more.
The show is suitable for ages 6 to 99! You don't even have to like science!
You don't need any specialist kit, just things you'll already have at home including:
- A piece of paper and a pen or pencil for each person watching
- A phone that you can activate the torch on or a torch of some kind
- A sweet, biscuit or piece of fruit for each person watching. The zingier the better, that's why we say sweets or fruit... but biscuits work too!
The show is ยฃ4.99 and last 1 hour.
