We appreciate the feedback!
Dan obviously has a lot of passion for mental health. The lecture we had about Teakisi was particularly illuminating.

The talk Dr Daniel Jefferson did at the end of the case where he spoke about the inequalities in mental healthcare, particularly in Black women, was really interesting and definitely opened my eyes to just how many inequalities remain within the NHS. I think addressing matters such as this early on in our medical training will make us better doctors and allow us to combat these inequalities throughout our careers.

I found Dan’s talk on Teakisi really engaging and he is clearly very passionate about it. Dan was the first GPL (GP Lecturer) that I had, he is really approachable and encouraging within discussions.

Could I take this as a chance to say Dan Jefferson my appraiser has been superb – really gets the psychological impact of working in primary care. A great example of a supportive appraisal.
