Chris Sanders 

A GP partner and educator at the University of Leicester medical school, I have in more recent years been involved in the Health Enhancement Programme (HEP) for medical students. Essentially a mindfulness based lifestyle programme, teaching this module has required me to understand the evidence and practice behind mindfulness as applied to medicine. I am also acutely aware on a day to day basis of the pressure of practicing medicine in the current climate in the UK, and the value of having strategies to use to mitigate this. I have a keen interest in Interprofessional education (IPE), holistic healthcare and sustainable living. My most important job, however, is being a father to two children. I enjoy cycling and the occasional triathlon too.
