How To Make Real Change

In a world where commenting is free, instantaneous and global, it’s easy to spend time criticising or complaining. Instead, he calls for a shift in our thinking about how to be a reformer, not a referee.

Behind the Scenes of My TEDx Talk: “How to make real change”

Delivering my TEDx talk, “Be a Reformer, Not a Referee,” was an incredible experience, but what you saw on stage was only part of the journey. Behind every talk, there’s a process—moments of reflection, preparation, and challenges that don’t make it to the spotlight. In this blog post, I want to take you behind the scenes and share how this talk came to be, what inspired it, and the lessons I learned along the way.

Introducing Dr George Obolo

Five years ago, I wrote in my personal statement, “Thus, the decision I’ve made to study medicine is one of great confidence.” Little did I know I was about to embark on the longest five years of my life—training through a pandemic, tackling challenging exams, and graduating into an uncertain NHS landscape.

My First Week as an F1 Doctor: Embracing Responsibility

There’s a moment when the weight of responsibility really sinks in. Maybe it was your first big job promotion, caring for a newborn baby, or babysitting a younger sibling. For me, that moment came during my first week as an F1 doctor. The pressure was palpable from the start—you quickly realise that the classroom version of patient care is a world away from the actual chaos of a hospital ward.
