A few months ago I was watching these videos religiously after getting only 2 interviews for Medicine. I can confirm that they work as I just received an offer from Nottingham a few days ago :)
Just wanted to say Doc, thanks so much for these videos. Currently have 3 offers for medicine and your videos are what got me to this stage. Thanks for all your hard work!
@@OllieBurtonMed 7 months on and I’m in my first month of med school now! It’s been a tough but fun journey here. I’ve been recommending your videos to any applicant I meet. Thank you again, and hope you’re doing well
@@CarpeDiem-vc3gq Hi, may i know what questions you prepared for? Do you have a list? I would really appreciate it as i have med interviews coming up soon
You are such an inspiration Ollie. I am going to apply to graduate entry medicine upon completion of my current Biomedical Science degree. Thank you for your videos and insight.
I plan to become a paramedic and after i get my degree work a few years and gain experience in the field and then become an advanced paramedic and work on the mobils intensive care unit ambulance
Yeah it absolutely could! It's more a focus of the medical model than the nursing model, although you obviously come across nurses that are very into their science and will learn it all anyway! :D
I mean taking blood is definitely a procedure that doctors are better at on average than nurses…most nurses on most wards I’ve worked will not take blood because they say they haven’t been trained and so it will be the FY1 who has to do the bloods if they’re not done by the Phlebs. What you said just isn’t true at all.
I think it depends entirely on your trust. Now working as an FY1 I agree, the nurses here do not do bloods and therefore the doctors are the ones to ask. Where I trained as a med student, the nurses there did do bloods and were therefore much better at it.
My goal is to become a clinical psychologist and then specialise and become a neuropsychologist. I plan to do the 3 year nurse course and work as a nurse for a year or two to gain some work experience and save them leave and become an assistant psychologist and work my way up to clinical. What’s your opinion on this plan and is it worth becoming a mental health nurse for a year or two before pursuing a psychologist career?
This is what I also plan on doing. Experience as an assistant psychologist is probably not needed, but desirable. Assistant psychologist jobs are hard to come by and very competitive. Please note that mental health nurses are paid better. You will need to do a masters conversion course online in psychology before you can apply for a funded clinical psychology doctorate place. I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you for this video Ollie! I would like to ask - if I cite having more cases to handle as a doctor being more suited to my work style/personality as opposed to having fewer cases but more in-depth care to deliver as a ward nurse, could this reason be viewed negatively, as I might seem like I prefer quantity of patients over quality of care? for context, I'm a nursing student applying to postgrad medicine :) Thanks in advance!
Not one I've really thought about! I think I'd make sure to differentiate the care definitions in that case as I would say doctors more manage patient care than care for them directly?
Basically any member of the healthcare team will be involved in teaching their juniors. So although obviously it is the case that doctors teach medical students, that teaching is in no way specific to the medical role, and it's something that doctors do less than for example nurses who spend a lot more time training their student nurses.
Ollie I completely agree with playing the game that the current political climate imposes. But let's make no mistake - on average, doctors DO know more than nurses. It would be infinitely easier for a doctor to do the job of a nurse than it would the other way around.
An occupational therapist saved my mum’s life. She was deconditioned physically and emotionally. And she lacked motivation. She helped my mum believe in herself. Is now more independent

Ollie, this is 100 percent the best channel for getting into medicine. You explain it like no other. Thank you so much.
you are so hardworking ollie...keep it up

How are you doing?

Sounds cool!
Great video Ollie! Really helped me make an educated decision on my career to be a medicine like paracetamol!!
I too enjoy being a medicine like ibuprofen
This was so so helpful! Thank you so much 😊
Forever grateful for your content THANK YOU ❤
As ever you're very welcome and thank you for watching!
love these vids so useful
Could how deep you go into the science be a good reason for going for medicine as opposed to, say nursing?
Yeah it absolutely could! It's more a focus of the medical model than the nursing model, although you obviously come across nurses that are very into their science and will learn it all anyway! :D
So helpful. Thanks so much 👍

Can these other healthcare professionals carry out research? Might that be another reason?
Virtually all of them can yes, so overlap with medics there!
@@OllieBurtonMed cheers, love the videos, they're a great help. I've got an interview in January!
No problem at all, glad you're enjoying them! Hope you've had a good holiday season and best of luck with the interviews
Hold you also talk about the opportunity for doctors to teach medical students and share their knowledge? Or is that something nurses can do as well?
Basically any member of the healthcare team will be involved in teaching their juniors. So although obviously it is the case that doctors teach medical students, that teaching is in no way specific to the medical role, and it's something that doctors do less than for example nurses who spend a lot more time training their student nurses.
