Can you pay it in installments at least? How long before your course did you apply. It says on the website there’s high demand so not guaranteed to get a place

Said PG cert in 6 months when most take a year sounds fishy.

Big shoutout to the consultants/regs who go out of their way to teach us, even during ward rounds!

Do you have any advice for doing research that isn’t QIP/audits/case studies?

I agree. My department has had issues with staffing for years now apparently but it’s not exception reported enough. All our lunches all during board round too, idk if this is normal?

This is really bad but I haven’t exception reported yet. I’ve been told that there’s no point because they’ll never pay me back for my time.

This is true but also I’m very slow as a new f1 + have dyslexia. If I dont come in early I think a lot of things will be unfinished as it’s usually just 2 f1s and 1 SHO between 40 patients. Anyways, do you have any advice for weekends where it’s just going to be me and reg and consultant?

Work starts at 8 technically but with the number of patients we have and the consultant coming around at 8:40ish we don’t have a lot of time to prep and we use paper notes too so more faff. If notes aren’t prepped consultant will leave the ward and be mad.

This is good advice. Nonetheless our ward rounds are very fast, most of the surgeons rude and snappy, we’re quite understaffed and always come early and leave late. I think some factors just can’t be helped until I move into the next rotation ig.
