I am a specialty registrar in Anaesthetics in South Yorkshire. I am triple vaccinated because I know it’s one of the biggest things I can do to protect my patients, loved ones and myself. Most patients I see on HDU/ICU now are unvaccinated #VaccinesWork #GetVaccinated

Rotating for the 18th time in 10 yrs on Wed, with 3 yrs of training yet to go. It does get pretty tiring constantly explaining who you are, what you’re doing, learning who everyone is, how the dept works + varying commutes + revising + life events..😩 Words of support welcome!

Finally, finally, finally.. FRCA POSITIVE! 🙌🏻 Endlessly grateful for all the support I’ve received over the past 2 years of this exam process. Deferring success to the festive period is a nice way to finish off the journey. Now, for champagne.. 🍾🤩

Having marginally missed the mark at each stage of Anaesthetic training so far, the Final FRCA is no different. Still, being 1 mark off the Viva is pretty painful (vast improvement of 1 mark!) Failure is a verb, not a noun, and doesn’t define me. Anyway, time for a holiday..🌞
