How to make your new FY1 doctor feel at home from day 1 ☺️ @croydonhealth #medtwitter #FAOMed

@DrEilidhMaria @Rebecca50149366 Can confirm if you do it properly it can be very flexible and rewarding. You don’t need to practice from CQC premise for Botox and dermal fillers. It’s given me the freedom to continue in the NHS without it being my ‘only option’, transformative for mindset/wellbeing.

@lucyaustreng I’d love to believe this is satire, but he really thinks this is what the NHS needs doesn’t he 🤦🏻‍♀️

@RadioJohnnie @BBCSuffolk @SarahLilley5150 Congrats Johnnie!

@demelzajbm @BBCSport Angus is off to the Oval next week too! Has also been glued to the TV all day 😂

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

@thegradmedic @danny_mercer Totally agree. I was lucky to be able to do an accelerated 3 year grad med degree at my uni as I’d also done my biomed undergrad there. Even then I feel the whole process could have been shorter!

@thegradmedic When the relentless treadmill of training gets me down, I try to remember that for most of us there isn’t only 1 path to happiness, most of us could be content in a few different specialties/locations. Not to say the current system is acceptable, but helps me co-exist with it ☺️

@demelzajbm @gracegausden93 It’s got a murdering psychopath in it mate, it’s right up your street!

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

@thegradmedic Oh lord this actually makes me want to cry 😭

Keir, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had patients present with ‘bleeding’ and they’re not even sure from which orifice it originates. Self-referral would be a total disaster. Unsafe & a complete waste of time and resources when GPs are experts in triage. #NHSCrisis

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Labour will reform the NHS:

Self referrals for patients.
Double the number of graduating doctors and district nurses.
Increase training places for nurses and midwives.
Free up GPs to focus on patients.

With Labour, patients will get the service they need.

@SimplyTheBess89 If it is a true result they will do a few other tests to check it’s not causing any problems and review her medications and kidney function to identify a cause. Usually easily treated and unlikely to cause any harm over a short period, but good to have it re-checked just in case.

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

@SimplyTheBess89 High potassium on routine bloods is usually a false result due to a difficult blood draw and trauma to the blood cells which burst and potassium leaks out, so if she is otherwise well they will just repeat the bloods and if her potassium is normal they can ignore the first result

ATSP re: high BMs. Impression: hyperglycaemia secondary to eating a sharing box of celebrations, wrappers found tucked up in bed with patient.

@thegradmedic Don’t let them make you feel inadequate, a skill that will serve you well in the NHS is working smarter not harder. Take the learning opportunities from the day/situation & otherwise don’t stay longer than needed! By final year you know best what you need to gain from a placement

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

@reachimyq Croydon is the best start any FY1 could hope for! 🌟

relatable from tiktok, ty very much for that one

@iowmillie Tried to DM you but it won’t let me! Just wondered if I could pick your brains about MVI, been looking into volunteering next year & would love to hear about your experience!

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

Above all else - always be kind. You won’t always have the master plan or the heroic skills, but never underestimate the therapeutic benefit in a cup of tea and some genuine empathy. #TipsForNewDocs

[Kate Mann @Kate_Kate_Katee]

#TipsForNewDocs - There will be days where you feel like a fraud, or an inconvenience and it will feel like everyone around you is more intelligent. That is not true, they are just more experienced. Value your time. Set boundaries and stick to them. Remember why you started.
