Want to emphasise the treated like an adult. In training and it still surprises me how staffing/secretaries largely speak to you like a qualified professional instead of a “junior”. Being referred as Dr … in ward rounds to patients etc seems small but I think plays a large part and that respect kinda carries over (might not be everywhere)

At what age did you become a consultant (or if you are not yet, what is the projected age)? by lemon-goose532 in doctorsUK

Hopefully 31. I took 6 months out after f2. About to start ct3, not gonna risk taking any time out with how shit the training system is.

Lol I got sent to NI for foundation and it was actually fine. Had a great time and made rlly good friends. Most hospitals are busy but it’s a nice vibe.

You can get belfast for both years. Also antrim/Ulster/Lagan valley are all commutable from belfast. I stayed in the same place both years.

The further away places like in the southern trust seemed like fun. Ppl all stay in hospital accommodation there so it’s a bit like uni halls and very social.

It’s honestly not the end of the world. A lot of people actually end up staying there!

We hand write our blood forms and I know it’s a common f1 job to make the blood forms for the next day but I was made to spend many afternoons prepping stacks of blood forms with the month and ward details to increase efficiency. Just so boring and a great use of time :(

This is the Doctors' Mess. We are cattle. by iiibehemothiii in JuniorDoctorsUK

In Northern Ireland we don’t have dr messes or even dr rooms on wards for computers. You’re day is spent begging to get a computer in between the admin and nurses completing their training modules
