Survived the first long weekend post changeover in a new trust. Only got lost 100 times and inadvertently called old by an f1 once

@WillMcKeown Congratulations William! 🎉 So pleased for you 🥳

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

@KatPaton13 Allow a few months to prepare, do ALL the questions, the more the better. I used pastest and pass medicine probably preferred pastest for part 1. Good luck it's a slog but worth it!

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

@mrseleanorohara @prepacespodcast I used @prepacespodcast and pastest videos, I also practiced examination on my poor husband so I had my technique down to muscle memory so I could focus on findings not remembering my next step.

@GemNixon1 Well done Gemma!

Have been reliably informed, by my 2.5y old, that it is in fact pronounced 'stethoscoop' and not 'stethoscope'..

Last day tomorrow in current post/training programme/trust. Excited to enter HST and meet a new team but dreading change over, moving trust and leaving current team/friends. The joys of medical training

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

Team Geriatrics here I come, couldn't have done it without some excellent advice and guidance #teamGeris

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

Great day at #BGSConf Geriatrics for everyone. The enthusiasm for the specialty was palpable - a great showcase for Geriatric medicine @GeriSoc

Learning event of today

[Howell Jones @howelltjones]

#GeriatricEmergencyMedicine Results from @UHSFT Post @NICEComms on #headinjury. Low rate of bleeding, bleeding associated with high risk injury +/- clinical signs, time to stop scanning? Can we therefore keep people at home? @GeriSoc @RCollEM @EuGMSSociety #EuGMS2023 #EuGMS

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

@HollyerMarcus That sign has been there since at least 2020 😂

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

Submitted the form 🤞🏻 a number comes my way

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

Uploading your employment history to Oriel should count as evidence for commitment to specialty

[Amy @AmyRuth89]

@HollyerMarcus Haha fair enough - I feel that is an excellent plan, I'm too far down the track now to be bothered with quitting
