My Side Notes:

João Medeiros - Mediador/ Interlocutor

Scott Drawer - Diretor of Sport at Millfield School

Shelley Zieroth - Director of St Boniface Hospital Heart failure ans Transplant Clinics, Winnipeg, Canada

Beth Healey - Doctor at Hospital Universitaire Geneve


Shelley - In heart failure you should look to others commorbilities (usually diabetes, chronic kidney's decease) interdisciplinary is key

Difficulty interdisciplinary - in surgical teams, implementation of guidelines, the patient should be part of the team, people in medical profession don't want to step in others people place, should be more about communication and team work

mindset of doctors: thinking about only 1 problem at time, not several

moon shot for heart failure

international guidelines, remote communication, virtual and remote care (as seen in the pandemics) is an opportunity to reach more patients and acess to care

the way forward: fellowship programs, interconnectivity, interdisciplinary programs - we became better doctor by doing this and improve health care


Scott - Communication in sports - inclusion o fthe patient, principles and ethics, create behaviour changes, the art of coaching differente people, understand the own bodies and abilities (and limits) - people should be on the same page

To win a gold medal: performance pratice plan (to increase power, lower times, etc) - to achieve human excellence

Everyone is part of the team, doctors, coaches

Be curious of others people work to articulate theirs with yours - innovation environments

willingness to be vulnearable and wanting to learn more, not be afraid to ask

going forward, not doing the same thing every single time, evolve, change - look at problems in different ways - different prespectives


Beth - responsable for a team in Antartica (about Space Travel)

It's good being part of the team

problem of communication in space agencies - that's a lot of technology (Europe, USA, International space station), health problems are the same for all

there's a need of understanding of what all the teams do to achieve interdisciplinary, appreciate it and use it to sucess of your team. Connectivity between the teams.
