You're welcome ☺️

A request : if you guys can make a video on documentation part of the job, that would be really really great. May be on a simple paper only you can show important parts of documentation and how one should do it.

[@RoadToUK]

Sure 👍🏻

[@Millenial9882]

doctor, it'd be great and helpful for imgs if you could do a video for oncalls/ common emergency scenarios at hospital, and what the sho/fy2/fy1 doctors are expected to do according to their grade. as most imgs initially join for this post. Thank you

[@safkatulibrahim520]

Excellent stuff... keep it up.... got a great insight into the working during the Night Shift.... if possible, do try to make a video of the Morning Handover period.... would love to see tht actual interaction during that period.

Hey,it would be really helpful if u could make a video on how IMG's can work on their portfolio/cv to enter core surgical training while still in their home country doing their MBBS

[@Ck_dEviL]

Hi, Love your content. So the doctors don't get any private room at least for the night duty for freshup or a quick nap??

[@RoadToUK]

They do!

[@tamimparvez9063]

Glad to see making this kind of video... I have a query... Suppose I have gone to UK after completing Plab and started working in a hospital... All on a sudden I have diagnosed with cancer, will NHS provide me cost free treatment regarding chemotherapy, radiotherapy and so on just like a Britisher?

[@RoadToUK]

Yes you'd be covered by the NHS once you start working.

[@hindubhati7783]

[@rizwan4590]

Hello one advice from me, You can tell about what case you saw and explain a little bit about it, keeping patient information confidential that would be great 😊.

[@RoadToUK]

[@user-ts2bi3ww5u]

Wow

[@Missdovanova]

Hello Doctor I have a burning question, does ST1 training open twice a year or does it depend on specific speciality and what are the deadlines?

[@RoadToUK]

Typically Nov & Feb but it's best to check the timeline on the specialty training site

[@vinayashish1075]

Hello !!! I want to ask if it is easy to get into specialist training in uk for specialities like internal medicine, psychiatry, GP, etc or is it very hard ????

[@drdj69]

[@shagufta_Kubra12]

In NHS.. Is it mandatory for a junior doctor to do night shift, If one dosent want to and is willing to substitute the same duty during day time n not working during any night.. Is that possible ??

[@RoadToUK]

You can opt out of night shifts as a non training doctor. Training doctors will need night shifts to progress their training. The only way you'd be exempt if occupational health state you cannot do nights.

[@Hunzla048]

Hi I will not say this an acute medical night shift. This is General Internal Medical on cal where you do nights. Pt gets admitted in AMU or sometimes to itu or wards. acute medicine work like doctors in other specialty.

[@RoadToUK]

Except this is an acute medicine shift as described in the NHS? There is a medical admissions unit where there are doctors who admit patients. There is no such thing as 'general internal medical' on-call as far as we have heard.

[@fbz6794]

Hi. I am an acute medical reg. The med reg shift we do are not Acute medical on call to be clear. This is the same on call done by gastro, geriatrics etc. This is med reg shift which is not acute medical on call shift. People get this misconception that acute medical trainees are always on call which is not true. We do same ward round like it is done by other departments. There is no no physical term like gim on call reg. But thats what we do isnt it? Here people get admitted to acute medical unit. Often to ward straight away. Often to itu. These are not acute medical on call. Same goes for the consultants. There are separate acute medical on call consultants. And separate GIM consultants. Again they are not the same. Though GIM consultants do post takes and admit pts in acute medical unit.

[@RoadToUK]

@@fbz6794 Sorry this shift was as a doctor on MAU. An SHO level shift. Not medical registrar. Nowhere in the video did it state the role was as a medical registrar. Dr. Ibrahim worked as an acute medical take doctor, admitting patients to MAU from ED.

[@fbz6794]

Oh okay. Sorry didnt mean to hurt you. Its just people get very scared when they think of acute medicine. They all have many misconceptions when they hear acute medical training. Apology again. Thanks for all the things you guys are doing. Me myself got lots of help from you guys. Keep up the good work. I am from bd too. Good luck.

[@RoadToUK]

@@fbz6794 Understandable. We have a video covering a medical registrar shift, but this is just a simple core trainee level shift as an internal medical trainee. Hence the explanations in the video.
