An interview with… EDOUARD MILLS
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER
We asked Edouard how joining a Society committee has helped build his career and his confidence.
What has been your proudest career moment?
Being awarded the Society for Endocrinology Early Career Clinical Prize Lecture and then presenting my research at the SfE BES 2023 was a huge privilege.
What do you see for the future of endocrinology?
Undertaking genetic testing is an increasing part of everyday endocrine practice. Knowing the gene defects that underlie an endocrine disorder allows us to refine diagnoses and personalise treatment strategies, not only for affected individuals but also for their family members.
What’s your ‘origin story’ in endocrinology?
I actually wanted to be a hepatologist throughout medical school, until I saw a simultaneous presentation of thyroid storm and diabetic ketoacidosis in a previously healthy young woman, when I was an on-call FY1 doctor. I was fascinated by the feedback mechanisms and their importance for diagnosing and treating endocrine disorders. The rest is history.
Why did you join a Society committee?
Joining the Public Engagement Committee has been a great opportunity to collaborate and network with some fantastic colleagues who are equally passionate about raising the profile of endocrinology and the Society. Our remit is incredibly broad, from delivering schools outreach activities through to engaging with the media. I wholeheartedly recommend applying to join.
What has being part of a committee taught you about yourself?
To step out of my comfort zone. Part of the Public Engagement Committee’s remit is to oversee a programme of public events and develop resources, including for schoolchildren and the general public. Being part of the committee has taught me the skills to communicate complex science in simple language. This has been incredibly helpful when interacting with my own patients.
What advice would you give your early-career self?
Medical training is a marathon, not a sprint. Taking time out of training to pursue other interests (especially research, leadership, teaching opportunities, etc.) is a valuable way to acquire new and diverse skills. Together, these will make you a more effective and well-rounded consultant in the long term.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS SAY…
“I hadn’t realised how welcoming the committees would be. They are approachable and they value your contribution; everyone’s views are respected. If you are interested in a role, apply for it! You will learn something new, the experience will be beneficial to your career and you can help to develop areas within the Society that benefit its members.” Joanne Brown, Nurse Committee
“I have met and networked with lots of new people through being on the Public Engagement Committee. I really enjoy attending the meetings, and the social aspect of being involved in the group!” Abigail Byford, Public Engagement Committee
“The other people on the committee are lovely, and it’s interesting to hear about their experiences in their institution and at their career stage. As Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.’ I would encourage people to apply, and bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the role. What would success look like? Making positive contributions to the community.” Craig Beall, Science Committee
