Writer's picture: Michael AtkinsonMichael Atkinson



In this episode, we were joined by Michael Atkinson, the co-chair of ASME’s Mindfulness in Medical Education special interest group (MiME) and senior lecturer in medical education at the University of Sunderland. We talked about what mindfulness involves and its role within healthcare and medical education.


More information about MiME:Mindfulness and other meditative practices are important, evidence-based approaches for maintaining wellbeing, and improving resilience, concentration, awareness and equanimity in many settings including healthcare and education. Mindfulness in Medical Education is a special interest group established to promote scholarship regarding mindfulness in medical education, to discuss and disseminate what might constitute good practice and to enable collaboration and fellowship with other like-minded individuals and groups.


MiME’s aim is to raise awareness about the importance of mindfulness in healthcare and healthcare education through discussion, sharing of good practice and collaboration. The SIG also aims to support its members to undertake and disseminate mindfulness and wellbeing-related scholarship.More information about MiME: www.asme.org.uk/committees/mime/
