Next week I start my 1st ever series of night shifts as a doctor
Anyone got any good tips for surviving them?
Genuinely donโt know what to expect or how to prepare
(Think Iโve seen threads ๐งต about this before but canโt seem to find them, so feel free to link them if you can)
Iโve had induction for the past week, but it was mainly lectures ๐ด

From 4 August 2025, sexual health clinics will be able to offer a free vaccine to patients at highest risk of the sexually transmitted infection (STI), including gay and bisexual men who have a recent history of multiple sexual partners and a bacterial STI in the previous 12 months. The 4CMenB vaccine will help shield those most at risk of gonorrhoea - potentially averting up to 100,000 cases of the disease, while easing pressure on vital NHS services. It will play a significant role in the governmentโs shift from sickness to prevention as it makes the NHS fit for the future as part of its Plan for Change.
On Monday, the 4CMenB vaccine for gonorrhoea has now been rolled out in sexual health clinics in the UK
Pls recommend this to your at-risk patients, itโll help reduce gonorrhoea rates & limit the increase in antibiotic-resistant โsuperโ gonorrhoea

This bleep is mine for the next 4 months
Years of med school, training, and blood, sweat, & tears have led to me becoming a doctor
Wishing luck & positive vibes to all my fellow new FY1s (we got this ๐ช)
Despite all its *difficulties*, we chose this profession for a reason
Final degree awarded (pending ratification by senate): MBChB Graduation prizes: Henry Parsey prize - WINNER
I just got the confirmation that Iโve satisfied all requirements for graduation

4 years ago today I went to my 1st ever @gladduk.bsky.social meeting (online agm cos Covid)
Today I went to my first GLADD meeting as Co-Chair
So proud of the work we do ๐ฅฐ๐๐ค
Lots of people with same illness arenโt lucky, many remain chronically unwell, hospitalised,l & struggle to find an effective meds
I hope that we can develop more effective treatments for people with SMI in the future, so they can live healthy, fulfilled lives like me
I have trauma from my time being unwell & being hospitalised.
Iโm lucky to be 2 years stable, & I have recently passed med school
Having had my own lived experience of SMI & hospitalisation, I hope I can draw on those experiences to have empathy for my future patients

Today is World Schizophrenia day

Being unwell with psychosis was terrifying, but Iโm so lucky to have found meds that keep me well & Iโve found stability
