I wanted to make this video to gather some tips and tricks for all the new foundation year one (F1/FY1) doctors out there. Starting work as a doctor is huge and scary and exciting and it has probably been one of the biggest transitions of my whole life. I wish I’d seen a video like this last year, so I wanted to make it to help you guys out.
I know everyone has their own experience, so I decided to ask some of my colleagues about the things they’ve learnt in the year they’ve spent working as an F1 doctor. I asked them all the same question:
“If you could go back in time by one year and give yourself some advice for starting work as a doctor, what advice would you give yourself?”
I hope this video is useful to you and please feel free to share it with anyone you know who might find these tips helpful. Look after yourselves and each other, and enjoy :)
Sarah xx

@hardz2110 4 года назад

Thanks for this vlog - it's so reassuring and helpful!! In terms of managing acute patients, is it like med school simulations where everything is literally at hand and a nurse/HCA (and I absolutely hate using this term to describe them) are a runner/assisting with you? Or is it literally like you having to sort out their bloods, cannulas, abg - and I'm assuming that you're not going to be ordering a CXR at 2am in the morning if you suspect acute lung pathology? And if you were, you'd discuss it with a reg first? I think I'd struggle on knowing when to escalate at the right time lol

@SarahNicholls 4 года назад

It really depends on the situation. Sometimes there are lots of staff, sometimes not. You have to be confident and ask for help when you need it! You can always call the crash team when things get scary.

Good job ! I've a question which is kinda funny one : Don't you guys ever wear white coats ( white lab coats ) in the UK ? just scarb suits even in medical wards ??

@TA-os2ru 5 лет назад

Fatima Kaboub I was told by our consultant that we used to have to but we’re not renowned for keeping them the cleanest n therefore we don’t bother anymore x

@fnk3887 5 лет назад

haha that's funny. I like them more then scrab suits.

@fnk3887 5 лет назад

So there isn't a sigle doctor in NHS wearing those ?? seriously ?

@SarahNicholls 5 лет назад

Hey! Sorry for my slow reply. No we don’t wear them in the UK any more because there’s a policy of being bare below the elbow for hygiene purposes, so we wear our own smart clothes or hospital scrubs!

@wedeservedit 4 года назад

You do in certain hospitals like guys and St Thomas because they provide white coats which are bare below the elbow 😉

@Docmom683 5 лет назад

hi I have a very serious question. if someone had completed his obgyn residency in his home country and now plans to move to UK. After plab and working in UK can he give Mrcog exams? if yes then when? and if he passed his all Mrcog exams then would he be upgraded as a consultant or he is bound to follow the regular path?

@maestromi 5 лет назад

Still need to follow the training pathway. The MRCOG exams are a requirement as part of a plethora of things on the On/Gyn training programme. The UK only recognises EU training for equivalency. Other training is not recognised. I doubt EU training will be recognised after Brexit.

@michealrock5369 4 года назад

Hi, i'm from India and i'm studying MBBS in China, to apply for GMC full registration through PLAB Route, Do i need to complete internship in my home country (Post-Graduation Internship) or Is Internship in China enough (Pre-graduation Internship for 16 months in China With no gaps between graduation and internship includes 3 months for Surgery and 3 months for Medicine ) ? Is that necessary to do Internship in our home country? or is it enough to do Internship in the place we complete our MBBS ?

A PMQ is referring to either a MBChB or BMBS degree which is a 5/6 year university degree depending on where you apply.

@esecallum 5 лет назад

Most doctors shut the door on updating their knowledge base and treatments prefering to coast along....very bad.

@mstkaden4867 4 года назад

Doctors often have Big egoes and no communication skills very narrow minded. They need to communicate better with patients. Ask patients Questions about concerns and if not in your specialism give right advice.
