In 2012, Dr Umakant Dave MBE - consultant gastroenterologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at Swansea University - was struggling with burnout, poor sleep, and the kind of stress that quietly erodes so many medical careers. It was a patient's experience with IBS that nudged him toward Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.
Within months, his relationship with work shifted. Busy clinics felt more manageable. He found patience where there had been tension - and, as he puts it, even started smiling more.
Now, Dr Dave is bringing that transformation to his peers. Inspired by his own mindfulness story, he has helped shape a conference for medics, hosted by the Sussex Mindfulness Centre - 6 November 2026 in Brighton.
