The Retired Radiologist, with Dr John Curtis

In this episode we catch up with Dr John Curtis, our very first guest on the podcast back in 2018, who recently retired from his position as Radiology consultant at Aintree University Hospital. He tells us how he is spending post retirement life, the highlights from his career, gives some top tips for new consultants (see full list below) and also gives us some exclusive news on a potential return...


Advice to new consultants - By Dr John Curtis

1. Under-promise, overdeliver

2. Seek a trustworthy, emotionally intelligent mentor

3. Don’t be afraid to declare your limitations - ask colleagues, radiographers and even trainees!

4. Don’t take on too much, too soon

5. Do what you like, like what you do

6. Develop strong relationships with your clinical colleagues. It is often these colleagues who know your true worth.

7. Teach the trainees – they will never forget the time and expertise you give them (this also applies to clinical colleagues). “Medical Education = saving lives in slow motion”

8. Never compromise on your standards and if asked for a “quick” opinion always provide that opinion as if you are issuing a formal report.

9. Have a list of colleagues (not necessarily within your own department) who will listen to you, keep matters confidential, offer sound advice in cases of conflict, doubts, confidence and for 2nd opinions. These colleagues can be specialty specific radiologists, any radiologist, clinicians or colleagues outside your Trust

10. Be kind to others and to yourself

11. Enjoy your job
