Last day of AL before starting my consultant job tomorrow. Hit me with your best advice for thriving and enjoying it MedTwitter!! @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit
@babydrclaire @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit Think compassion in your every interaction with people (patients & colleagues) - Listen actively, understand what people say beyond words, empathise & ask how can I serve (Michael West). Find meaning & joy in your work. It’s possible despite all the challenges. Good luck!
@babydrclaire @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit Never underestimate your power as a role model. The way the consultants behave; the way we talk; the language we choose to use; the way we spend our time sets the tone for the entire department for good or for ill.

@babydrclaire @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit There should be a disclaimer on your trainee eportfolio which says “Nothing you have done will really prepare you for what comes next”.
@babydrclaire @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit Always remember you have a whole team around you. Keep asking lots of questions and lean on others when needed. See you Thursday, will come and find you in your office! 😍
@babydrclaire @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit “Consultant” is not the end of the learning journey. It’s just the next phase of training
@babydrclaire @anna_annabav @AnnaKyle12 @drjamesdearden @TessaRDavis @CamillaKingdon @Damian_Roland @ianlewins @ian_wac @_katieknight_ @thefourthcraw @DrNickTwit Remember you can still ask questions and for advice / 2nd opinions!
