A warm welcome to all of our new doctors! 🤗
We’re so excited to have you joining us.
I know exactly how you’re feeling because I was there myself back in 2013. I can still remember my very first day in the Emergency Department, in our old department. I felt like a rabbit caught in the headlights - heart racing, a bit terrified, and wondering what I’d got myself into! But within the first hour I was stuck in, and I absolutely loved it.
Fast forward 13 years, and I genuinely feel proud and grateful to be here as one of your Emergency Medicine Consultants and Educational Lead. It’s a real privilege to help support you through your own journey. ☺️
Some days will be brilliant. Other days will be tough. That’s Emergency Medicine. But I promise you’ll learn more than you ever imagined, and you’ll always have people around you who want to help you succeed. Please ask questions, get involved, and make the most of every opportunity. 💭
As we mentioned during induction, there are lots of teaching sessions available throughout your rotation, so make sure you come along. I’ve also put together a few blogs and my Top Tips posters, which you might find useful when you’re getting started.
Please don’t ever feel you can’t come and ask me something, no matter how big or small. And if you see me in the corridor - or flying past on the shop floor - come and say hello! I’d love to speak to you all throughout your rotation.😃
I hope you enjoy your time with us, make some great memories, and get as much out of your experience as possible. I look forward to meeting you all soon!
