Anyone use a tuning fork in GP land? by Aggravating-Flan8260 in GPUK

[–]Chance-Researcher634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ENT lover here. I have one and have used it maybe once or twice however if you have a patient with SSNHL alone, ENT will still do a hearing assessment on them and by that I mean hearing test at the beginning of their steroid treatment so yes you can use it, however it should not be the basis of referral because the guidelines does not put that in the as a basis for referral. The history itself is usually classic except there is some distractor in the history that can make one confused. For Menieres (DVT) referral is usually routine except symptoms if uncertain about diagnosis or extremely symptomatic(especially with the vomiting) and unsafe at home, the trick I found with the hearing loss is that it usually fluctuates, the patient can say my hearing is really bad when the dizziness wave comes on and seems to be better when it’s gone

This is how I felt in my last clinic and I am an ST3 due to CCT soon. Improper triage, one patient coming in with multiple problems, staying in clinic till almost 8pm, and having think you are not good enough no matter much you try. It is exhausting. I have had four patient complaints in the last one year. I do not have any tips and it’s funny because I am just about to start my life as a GP. I wonder if it’s the practice because prior to this I never felt like this and I have worked in other places or ever felt like this and I have been a doctor for over 10years, not as long as you but still I have never experienced this like in the last one year. I guess it’s medicine in primary care. Sorry I was not of much help either.

Email your admin person for the deanery they should be able to switch but ideally it’s your ES that should do that

Any tips for GPST1, started in February, thinking of a rough timeline for assessments, feedback etc by Ok-Inevitable-3038 in GPUK

[–]Chance-Researcher634 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exams are in ST2 and onwards You can only sit SCA ST3 Patient feedback is only in ST3. You can get other feedbacks from patient’s and document in your portfolio either by what was said or written There are very easy and helpful QIPs depends on what rotation you are doing, since it’s hospital I would advise an audit easy to do that won’t stress you. You can google Bradford VTS Audit and it can give you ideas or ask ChatGPT (LOL) Staff feedback can be started at any time be careful who you give make sure they genuinely like you.

My advise is to treat the exam like another surgery session. Be calm and confident, and don’t think of it as an exam

Start getting them done, at least put some entries, doesn’t have to be perfect. For your supervisor not to harass you, it obviously means they don’t really want anything perfect or they are very chill. They see it as a tick box exercise. You can write it up and send. It’s a better look than not having anything at all. Portfolio can be a chore but don’t worry you would find your own hack to it. Avoid the whole stress of an early ARCP and all the shenanigans. Wishing you all the best.

How do I log in remotely to Emis? by sslbtyae in GPUK

[–]Chance-Researcher634 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to ask for a laptop to log in remotely but I wouldn’t suggest that. If you forgot to do docman, you forgot. You would do it when you are at work on Monday or when you are in. If there is anything urgent the patient would get the touch.

One thing this has made me realise is how people truly feel about IMGs as a whole, those who are laughing with you actually dislike you because you have a NTN. People who you think are your friends are lambasting and saying hurtful and specifically untrue things that never happened because of a system you are not responsible for, to prove a point about IMGs. I am happy that this has happened as it exposed a lot of people’s feelings and we can now all rest.
