    Hi Katherine, I was studying for PLAB1 when I watched your video for the first time and I was imagining if I could be a gp trainee one day. However, today I am watching this video as a gp trainee who is going to start a training programme in February 2024. This is an emotional time for me. Thank you for this detailed video 🤍

    Hi Katherine. Thanks for putting up this video, this is so informative and helpful. As a fellow gp trainee in Ireland I feel like I am watching myself through this video. I like the fact that you briefly addressed the common stereotypes about GPs. Most people think that GPs don't do anything just sending patients to A&E which is absolutely wrong. We are very busy dealing with issues that never make to the hospital. I am currently doing my first Gp rotation and I must say I struggled the first few weeks I started cos some of the cases I had I wasn't used to dealing with them in the hospital and so I wasn't sure how to manage them. Thankfully I had a good trainer who supported me all through and like you i find myself always studying, listening to podcasts or webinar even when I should be resting 😊 . Gp is very busy but so rewarding and I am so happy that I chose it.

    Hello, i really want to become a doctor more specifically a GP, but having read articles form both the BMA and other news sources i keep hearing the same thing - that beards hinder the effectiveness of surgical masks and they must be shaved off. I keep my beard for religious reasons and i guess i was wondering if Doctors more specifically GPs can keep beards, my beard is about a hands length so yeah not those stubble beards but the more lengthy ones. Thank you for reading :) And also what about rotations in medical school so like how do different specialties treat beards like are surgeons expected to be clean shaven more than GPs. Thanks again

      I felt the best preparation was my F2 GP placement. Lots of MSRA questions was GP orientated and common scenarios encountered in primary care. I also finished a couple of question banks (MCQBank and Passmedicine). I'm generally not great with SJT questions so I studied hard for the clinical part and it paid off! Apart from this, lots of luck and a good night sleep the day before.

      @@xpingars I thought in the UK A/E is reserved for emergency medicine consultants, is this not the case?
      In spain (im a british jr dr here) we dont have an equivalent specialty to emergency medicine so a/e doctors here are either internists or gp, i want to move back there when i finish here and i would absolutely love to be able to combine both, and have the option to avoid hospital medicine entirely if i choose. Is this realistic as a GP in the UK?
      thanks so much

    • @xpingars
      @xpingars  3 роки тому +2

      As a GP you can work as a GP in urgent care or negotiate a job with a A&E to work as a specialty A&E doctor - typically in minors which is bread and butter GP work. You can’t be an A&E consultant, for this you go through ACCS/A&E training.
      GP training now only has one year of hospital and two years in GP. Once you’re fully qualified as a GP you can do whatever you wish really! Most GPs do all their clinical work in GP surgery but you I’ve met GPs working in A&E, palliative care, community geriatrics, psychiatry, geriatrics as a GP or GP with special interest...
      Good luck with your journey!

    Hi! This is a great video, very informative! However, I’d like to ask, how do you find the work life balance being a GP in training? I see that you are given time slots throughout your working day but do you spend a lot of your free time studying too? I ask because I am interested in medicine and I seek more of a work life balance that I lack in my current teaching role. Thank you! Hope to see more videos soon :)

I just started my 2 year internship in my country and after seeing how is the life of the residents i started thinking about getting extra time for me, family and friends, also i like to speak to the person and not just see him as an issue to fix.

    • @xpingars
      @xpingars  3 роки тому +2

      Hi! GP training consists of a mix of hospital and GP placements. During the hospital placements you will be on the on call rota (long days, nights, weekends) so the work life balance is not as good as during GP (regular hours, weekends free). To be honest most of the learning is from seeing patients, debriefing with supervisors, reflecting and reading during the job. I don't spend a lot of my free time studying, though exams are coming up and that will change soon.
      The great thing about GP is once you've finished training, you have essentially complete flexibility as to how your working life looks like - many options to be a salaried, locum, partner, portfolio GP etc. That is not to say that it's easy - the current GP climate is tricky at the moment with high demand and low resources, so the days are tough.
      Hope this helps - good luck!

    • @xpingars
      @xpingars  3 роки тому +2

      Once you finish your training and are fully qualified as a GP, this is very much possible. There are options to work as a locum GP or you could negotiate a part time salaried post. Portfolio GP is another option. There are lots of opportunities to do teaching, management, research, medical journalism, anything you want really! During GP training there are LTFT (less than full time) posts (e.g. if you choose to do 50% LTFT, your training will take 50% longer).

    • @xpingars
      @xpingars  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Sohan, no it's not through MRCP, that's if you wish to be a physician. For GP training application you need to sit the MSRA exam +/- interview afterwards. I'm not sure about the ins and outs of applying as an IMG - I'm sure there's lots of information on a quick search or UA-cam.
