"The NHS currently feels like a difficult place. The cost-of-living crisis, widespread industrial action and the impact of COVID-19 have all added to a system already stretched by rota gaps and capacity issues. So, to talk about thriving in our paediatric careers risks accusations of being divorced from reality, of pointless dreaming.
"But in our Thrive Paediatrics work, we venture to suggest that there is a place for a dreaming, for a vision of how things could be - and should be.
"Change will not happen simply through painting such a picture. But it is surely more likely to happen if together we develop and share that vision, and feel empowered to reach for it."
