Thrilled to be appointed Foundation Year 1 Programme Director.

Alongside GMC, Deanery & NHSE responsibilities, I’ll embed coaching, resilience & wellbeing into FY1 training—so our future doctors don’t just survive, but thrive.

#itsallaboutwellbeing #fy1
All fuelled for the evening now!
#oncall

On an occasion or two,a teaching session stands out. This one did, the bar was set by the FY1 who taught us all how to run a teaching session ❤️👏🏽👏🏽 #delirium #FY1 #showushowitsdone

It’s been a real week of ups and downs!
Challenging clinical scenarios,breaking bad news a fair few times this week!
However what a lovely high to end on!
New FY1s & 1st paycheque decided to do this for the nursing team on our ortho wards @SWBHnhs
👏🏽👏🏽month 1 done ✅ #fy1

7/ Once out of work, do not miss out on those post-work drinks & socialising - it's the best part of being an #FY1.🍻You will build friendships and support networks that will come in handy when it's just been a tough day.

Just a great start to my morning when I get this picture through from my exiting F1s;
they’re either trying to impress the new F1s or auditioning for the next @SWBHnhs foundation trainee boy band😂😍❤️
Consent gained from all participants to share this 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽#FY1

My 4th (& final) F1 induction @SWBHnhs the morning is all going well (so far🤞🏽) a lovely morning & a Costa to kick start the day never goes wrong 😊😂
🙏🏽 @NHSBeeky @Mikeblaber & others who have made the induction engaging as always! #FY1 #induction

If anyone does take on an educational role⬇️

Know them by their names
Know them as people
Know them because you care
Know them because you have their back

Don’t do the job if the above doesn’t matter to you

#FY1 #ARCPsignoff

3/
End

4 years on & another round of interim ARCPs done ✅
My top tips on doing the job?
Know your trainee(s); it is possible I have 66 of them #knowtheirname
Camaraderie with them makes them a lot less worried!
Have a great work partner in crime 🙏🏽@SofiaAnnis #MedEd #FY1
☕️ helps👏

Facilitators session done ✅
Hoping to support many more West Mids FY1s for this new academic year ✅🤞🤞
Spread the word folks 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #wellbeing #support #FY1 #peermentoring

Met up with two lovely new FY1s today, induction started at home for them with the non joys of Noro!
My induction?
Don’t be afraid to say ‘I don’t know’
Ask questions & lots of them
Where to find coffee ☕️
Where my office is😊😂
#FY1
@SofiaAnnis they think you’re wonderful😊

To have an room yesterday with a work experience student, exiting FY1s, incoming FY1s and imminent IMT1….shows how amazing the world of medicine is & hopefully encourage any future doctor to be it’s worth a go! 🤩
Roll on new FY1 induction today 😊👍

A partner in crime/Webex wiz @SofiaAnnis 🙏makes it so much easier 😊🙌🏽 #FY1

#FY1 what a start to 2021 for you all but really proud of the lot @SWBHnhs It’s tough but keep talking ✅

We’re kidding ourselves if we say it’s not!
It will pass 🙌🏽 #wellbeing @RichyP56 @neel_kothari_ @Kiren_Parkash @enoughamy @Mikeblaber

In amongst the current times, it’s good to see something positive....a virtual foundation conference that is still running (I hope!) @UKFPO
@AdamPailing good luck!😊👍
#FiY1 #FY1 @RichyP56 @Kiren_Parkash @neel_kothari_ one to consider!...
