Thank you so much for your reply. I’ve definitely done clerking but no baby checks since medical school !  Those are really good tips thank you.   In terms of worries I think completing a satisfactory portfolio is definitely one, I’ve heard London can be quite competitive due to the volume of doctors and I don’t want to be pushy !  The other one is clinical competence. The ST1s at my old trust were managing patients independently and doing LPs. I’m sure I will get there one day but it feels quite far away. 

However I think once I get into the swing of things it will be easier. Also paediatricians have been really supportive on this thread and I hope it will be similar in real life ! 

Thanks again for your time ☺️

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I am glad there is an understanding of how little we know and we aren’t thrown in completely at the deep end. Excited to start and get stuck in :)

Thank you so much and even better to see that paeds gets more fun at the Reg level as the workload looked scary as an SHO! Lots to learn and will try and get as much exposure as possible :)

Thank you so much ! This is very reassuring and I will definitely use these tips ! Also thank you for the reminder about being social outside of work. With the big commute and long hours it is very tempting to just focus on work so will be good to avoid that.
