I have listened to each of the presentations during the complete summit. The information is visionary and powerful. The presentations are well orchestrated and executed. I am a former Medical Corps Service Officer with the U.S. Air Force. I worked with healthcare providers who served in an Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. As Reservists, many of the Nurses and Medics worked in hospitals e.g., ERs, and of course many deployed overseas. Their work was and is God’s work, with the hearts of Angels. I have retired from the Air Force but remain with close ties to my medical colleagues, now friends. The bond is deep; life-long. Recently, I certified to teach yoga and embarking on additional certification to learn trauma and adaptive techniques and methods for service members, through Warriors at Ease, a veteran non-profit. There is a place in the VA, and the military service community, for the information contained in this summit! Thank-you!

Some really great conversations here around the importance of authenticity, as well as being open and transparent for building trust and combatting stigma around burnout. Building mindful organisations comes through here – the value in asking ‘what is your organisation going to pay attention to?’ Inspiring stuff.

This summit is extremely inspiring, I’m watching this as a patient and caregiver and it helps me to understand what practitioners are facing and how I might have more compassion as I seek medical help. I’m also embarking on a care giving experience and I’ve learned some techniques I can use to keep myself as effective and motivated as possible. This also gives me hope that the medical industry will evolve for the better as more people engage with mindfulness and compassion.
