This year I'm running Cardiff Half to raise money for the renovation of @SwanseabayNHS "Clos Cwtch", 5 houses that provide a home away from home for families with babies in the NICU ♥️

Grateful for anything you can spare or a share ♥️

@doc_bipolar @drPramV I was going to reply but you've summed it up so nicely.

I couldn't agree more.

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@ChloeMilton8 Agree with the experience you talk about in your article.

When I was a medical student I was told off for how awkwardly I cut sutures when I tried to do it with my right because I couldn't get the scissors to work with my left.

Such bad hand cramp trying to use the clamps!

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@ChloeMilton8 So interested to read this! As a leftie and a doctor I'm so curious, because I make so many subtle adjustments in my day/exams etc that I don't realise because of my left handedness!

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@zoyysauce You will be ace :)

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@zoyysauce - Development is a station you could easily get full marks in, but it feels quite false station. Make sure those milestones are just there in your head so you know them
- Make sure you have fun planned around the exam. Eg. Mine was in London so made a trip of it, dinner & show!

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@Dr_DeanS I really love that people are coming for you and saying "ah but what about x situation that sounds reasonable to give antipyretics, you're wrong" when you've literally said "if a child is comfortable or not distressed I would hold off"

Full agreement with you :)

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@DrSeanMon @DrEmilyBotcher @ajpigott_anna @heretolearnkids Our deanery have said you have to also request to fasttrack. Which you can only do once; so its not like I imagined it might be where the ARCP panel look at you and then say "ah this trainee has done everything let's have a discussion with them as to if they'd like to progress"

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@DrSeanMon @DrEmilyBotcher @ajpigott_anna @heretolearnkids My rant might have contributed.
I started training at 80%, got my competencies done (& now all my exams) still have to do my FTE time before moving to tier 2, unless I show that I am "exceptional"

So currently 3rd year training, don't become ST4 until June 25 👍

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@dr_emmacoombe In theory... being 80% I'm still told I have to meet my FTE, even though I got all my core competencies. 🤷‍♀️

Seems more complicated than the college presents it.

[RKB @beccaydwi]

Feeling very grateful to be faced with this view on the morning run 🌊

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@DrEmilyBotcher @lauraamkelly We did for the last 6 months! Sadly I have now moved hospitals 🥲🥲 but I did get a couple of glorious shifts with Laura as my reg ♥️

[RKB @beccaydwi]

What a lush start to holiday - woke up in Sydney to the news that I passed RCPCH clinicals 🎉

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@EileenC_Foster I don't know of any going but when i was an F3 I did a clinical fellow job in Heartlands NICU and there's always locums going in BCH.

Often the jobs don't come out until a bit later so defo worth emailing around

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@DrKidneyAsh Nice work! Will defo be paying this until they write it off (if that still happens)

6 years of doctoring, it continues to get higher not lower as the payments don't cover the interest 🫠🫠

+£66,000 of debt I pretend does not exist

Absolutely amazing you've cleared!

[RKB @beccaydwi]

@llywela_davies Absolutely nailed it 🥰

[RKB @beccaydwi]

It was a glorious dip.
If you can afford to donate even a little it's going to such a worthy cause!

[Zoe Johnson @zoejohnson__]

Spent my day phoning families to nominate their children for @Dreamflight and then spent my bonus leap year cold water dip fundraising for this fabulous charity at the gorgeous Ty Sawna and my heart is so very full ♥️if anyone is able to donate, you really could change a life 🌈
