Hi Anne and others,
Yes a face book group is a great idea.
I am a physician teacher and am interested in using the power of the web to tackle clinical complexity and learning at the point of care.
At the moment I am trying to get my patients both in the hospital and community to share their own experiences with their illnesses with an overall aim of developing a web based user driven collaborative learning network.
We could begin the facebook thing by searching for each other's names and then inviting each other. There are 8 people with my name and I am the one with the glasses and blue shirt.
yours sincerely,
rakesh

Thank you. I am a GP and clinical lecturer in an undergratuate department of primary care. I went
along to a Tufton Group session 6 years ago. I am interested in complexity and education especially
after attending a very interesting session by Stewart Mennin at AMEE in Prague last month. I am
thinking about online vs real-life interaction and learning, and how we can strike a balance between
over and under-organising learning oportunities as a tutor.

In response to Chris's suggestion I am still interested in learning more
about how complexity theory can inform my research.
I have now semi-retired, but have as my main aim the introduction of a
whole-person approach to medicine and am working mainly on introducing SCA's
(Spiritual Care Advisors - previously known as chaplains) into GP surgeries.
Exploring spirituality in the context of health care needs evaluating and at
the back of my mind is the belief that complexity will assist us.
So I may be quiet - but I am thinking and am willing to learn.

Yes we could if we want - this list is self organising!
As a person brought up pre-facebook, would it be useful (at least for
now) for people to send in a 1 paragraph email about who they are and
what they're doing with complexity / wanting complexity to do for them?
