I ♥ IR. Unconventional mum. Selectively sociable. Sewing, surrealism, steam punk. Outdoor adventures. Trying to have it all.

@telswood @DrNeilGuptaIR @nhsuhcw @BSIR_News You don't have to - F2s are paid for by deanery so no cost to department. MP and I wrote a proposal for one, I'll chat to you next time I see you about it.

Applications are open now for IR training posts in the West of Scotland. Excellent team and good banter (if I do say so myself).

Um, I think passing exams without access to essentially all the information on the internet is probably way more impressive...

@Warren_IR @cirsesociety @ETF_IRtrainees @IRSA_IRs Main earner, integrated paeds IR into training = working away a lot, this + exams had already taken away a lot of time and money from my family, wasn't going to impact on getting consultant post, ?quite IO heavy which wasn't going to be much of my practice. No-brainer no for me.

@drsam_millar @JordanAR1995 Took a second to differentiate between football and IR chat here 🤣

@Secret_Squidgle @Dr_BellaR This plus legally blonde is the correct answer.

@telswood NROC where you actually get called innit. Currently use a remote desktop through browser on my personal laptop so definite improvement!

A fully WORKING work laptop, three weeks before official start date? It's a #NHSMiracle

@Warren_IR @CVIR_Journal @ETF_IRtrainees I vote neither. "They told me to do it" isn't a good enough reason for my child to have done something so it isn't good enough for me. Equally the referring team often know the patient better/have a more holistic view. Where there is doubt, discuss and team decision (inc patient)
