Preparing for F1 Dr Greg Moore
The reality “Doctor, doctor......” “Please can you prescribe.....”
Day in the life • In a little early • Check any problems from overnight • Prepare for the ward round • Ward round • Jobs • Interspersed teaching and the Mess • On call – handover and look after whole hospital “You have a bruised rib”
Can you prepare? • Yes! • Clinical placements – get stuck in • Ask to take your own patients • Practice prioritisation • Make your own clinical decisions • Request scans and make referrals/calls • Go on call with your F1/another doctor • Go on with outreach teams • Experience handovers
Getting the most out of F1 and the future • Ask for help • Seize the moment esp. with clinical skills • Teach • Audit • E-Portfolio • Think ahead
The essence • Hard job • Rewarding job • Worth it
