Russell Blakelock, BHB,
MBchB, FRACS
Russell
is
a Paediatric Surgeon and Senior Lecturer in Surgery with the University
of Otago.
He is involved in undergraduate student education at the Christchurch
School
of Medicine & Health Sciences and the Dunedin School of
Medicine, and postgraduate
teaching. He has ongoing involvement in clinical work, teaching and
training in
the Pacific Islands.
As a result of his own experiences, he is developing a keen interest in
the
influence of personality, self-awareness, emotion and communication
behaviour
on learning in medical training and healthcare team performance. He
cobbles
together spare time from thin air, to pursue postgraduate studies in
education
focussing on these interests. He confesses that this does have an
impact on his
work-life balance, but he still finds (less!) time to play bass with
friends or
his children, read a lot (less fiction!), tramp (much less frequently!)
with
friends and family and walk the dog.
