I had so much fun recording my day at work and making this video! Would love to know what you guys think 😊 feel free to subscribe to see more on my journey through medicine, my culture and life!
Hey Matt! Just stumbled on your video by accident and I just want to let you know you're doing a great job on youtube. Please don't stop posting, your video has really motivated me to keep studying. I'm currently in 4th year of med school in Italy and I'm planning on moving to the UK after I graduate, so having an insight of what it really is like to be a Junior Doctor helps me to keep on track with my studies. Thanks for the video!
Hey Leo thanks so much for your message and for reaching out as well 😊 super glad you enjoyed these videos and I'll definitely keep trying to make content that people can enjoy to get an idea of life as a doctor in the UK!
Thank you for showing us what the life is like as a doctor over there! Especially for the doctors in other countries to know the differences between :D Great work!!!! Can't wait to see more

hi, Matthew , enjoy watching your video, it brings me back to my days 40 years ago, I was working at St. Thomas' Renal Unit and Guallen Ward . Enjoy your work at St. Thomas' . it is an excellent prestige teaching Hospital in London , with very professional , friendly and caring staff
What a lovely video Dr... It's great to hear that Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist play a vital role in discharge planning as you have mentioned. You certainly a very good MDT player.Thanks Ajit OT
They absolutely do Ajit, and in so many cases they play a much more important role than that of a doctor in terms of making sure the patient can get home safely and cope well at home!
Hey Sarah thank you so much, love seeing other doctors on youtube as well 😊 just seen your videos, they're great! Will be following your journey too 🙌🏼

Hi Matt, fantastic video. Really interesting. Glad I came across your channel. Have subscribed. I’ve so much respect for what you do and all the other hardworking NHS staff. I owe my life to you guys. I’m having my 5th open-heart surgery at a London hospital in 2 weeks time. My niece is a medical student and her husband a junior doctor. I would so love to have been a doctor/surgeon. It’s so so interesting. Lots of respect for you 👍
Amazing video .. good insight into what life as a doctor involves .. slightly different than working in general practice where I am currently working ..

Hey Matthew! Thank you for sharing us about your days and it really makes me want to work in UK! I am 4th year med student studying in europe and trying to move to UK after graduate as an IMG. I bet that getting a job in London area would be tough in junior doctor. How hard is it? Im actually considering UK just because of London but I have no clue about the possibilities that I could be matched.

Well…. I’m a junior doctor in Malaysia. Need to be in the hospital at 5 in the morning, 3 ward rounds a day, No break time, 30-40 patients per ward under your care and you’re considered lucky if you’re able to get out of the hospital at 5pm…. Most of the time, your shift will end between 9 pm - 11pm 😅. Cheers
Hey Muscab, thank you so much that means a lot! It’s always difficult when you’re first starting off but its words like these that make me want to put even more time into it. Have so many ideas for videos to make so super excited to be sharing all of this 😊 Hope you find it useful or interesting!
It has become easier due to some of the restrictions being lifted with regards to visa sponsorship (assuming you don’t have right to work in the uk). All the information you need are on the UKFPO website. The registration for this year has closed, however you can target when it’ll open in 2021 (usually between June-September).
Hey there, glad you enjoyed the video! As @kole ivy mentioned the visa limitations and application process have been lifted slightly to make it a bit easier. It's entirely doable - most people finish the PLAB before coming over and don't have any problems joining a programme!
Hi Matt! I suppose the hospital you are working at is St Thomas'.. I was there back in February 2018 for my PACES exams. I am from tropical Malaysia. The "Beast from the East" cold chill from Siberia made London covered with snow at that time.What a sight! I am doing my speciality training in Geriatric Medicine now :-). All the best to you...Cheers!
It's an amazing hospital and city! Thanks for sharing your experiences, looks like I'll have PACES to look forward to... All the best with your training in Malaysia and future endeavors, and hope to stay in touch 😊
In your Id Card Lanyard Mentioned as Fy2 , means Foundation year 2 … when we get MRCP can we go directly to ST3 or ST4 level without doing Foundation as plab qualified doctors doing … please clear it for us ….
Inspiring video! Can I get an advice, Dr Matthew? I am also a young asian doctor planning to work in UK. But i have a kind of anxiety with my short height which is 5’5” (165cm). I think you are a bit taller. I sometimes have a worry whether big difference of heights with colleagues might bring disadvantages to my career in a Western country. Meanwhile, I can see you look healthy, vibrant, radiant and virtuous, carrying so much confidence making racial/height difference faded away. May I know how much time you give for exercises/sports to look healthy like this and did you need to overcome similar issue like mine?
Hi Matt, great video. Would you say there is a lot of opportunity for doctors to work flexible rotas? I'm torn between trying to become a doctor or a dentist. I do like the 4 day work week which seems to be becoming the norm for dentists. Due to my age, it would be a big commitment and I probably wouldn't be qualified until late 30s so I'd probably also prefer the role which the better pay started sooner as I believe with Drs there's a few foundation years until you reach the good pay, is it less years to reach the higher pay grades in dentistry do you know? Much love.
Do we need home country medical licence for plab. I m studying medicine in China 🇨🇳 so after getting degree can i directly give plab without giving home country licence exam
I just finished my UG and I want to move to UK but I'm scared of the racism there, of how people are going to perceive a foreign graduate. Do patients let you treat them? Is the lifestyle good enough for me to move from here?
Hi I’m really hoping you could reply to my comment as it would help immensely with a decision I have to make regarding preferencing. Is there a special London allowance for foundation programme doctors, or is that option only present for service jobs? I have been accepted into the FY2 standalone and have received very high marks on my SJT but I’m not sure whether I should rank posts in that area as I understand that cost of living is quite high.
Thank you Muna! Haha I'm just lucky I work in such an amazing place, plus medicine could do with some positivity ☺️ I'm a complete amateur when it comes to plants but I've actually been hoping to get a bit more greenery in my house... Any tips or ideas would be very much appreciated!!
I’m currently doing my a levels but hesitant If I should do medicine cus I heard that there are night shifts and 11 hours a day with one day off a week until you become a senior doctor/ normal doctor not junior
Hey man, it's been a while since you uploaded this video but I hope you could answer and help me I'm a doctor planning to go to UK (London I hope) for the foundation program and residency in psychiatry, but I also want to pursue my music career dream, and study music formally. Is it possible to study another career during the foundation years or residency?
how much do u make a month including on calls and everything and how much you save after all expenditure in food and stay and all.? . i am looking for doing PLAB.. so that'd be helpful.. And also how hectic or tired do you feel after your duty each day?

Hey there! Haha I’ve been a gamer all my life. I’ve got a switch and my flatmate owns the PS4 - I used to play a lot more but it’s now mostly reserved for evenings I want to kick back and relax ☺️
hey Matthew, what a levels did you do? this job looks really appealing to me but i'm only doing a level chemistry, maths and computer science. do you think it's still feasible?
Hi there! I did 4 A levels: chemistry, biology, computing and maths, but you can absolutely get in with the 3 that you are taking! The main one they are particularly concerned with is chemistry and you tick that box 😊 definitely go for it if you're interested in medical school, it's a great career!
Hey Bro Matthew Lee, it's my final year of MBBS course from the university of China(Ningxia Medical University).I'm from Bangladesh.I'm interested to settle my life in UK like you. What's the easiest and the most effective way now for me to be there in London as a general physician (PG is also ok)? Need I apply for PLAB 1 or any other good options? please reply as you're my neighbour😂( China-Hong Kong)!
Thank you for sharing your routine everyday PROUD DOCTOR OF A CHINESE FARMER!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU MY SON!! IM YOUR NEW COOKING NANA I HOPE WE WILL BEST OF FRIEND!!
Thanks Summer! Our work schedule depends on which rotation we're on but it's generally around 40-50 hours a week and most of us work 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 weekends. While I was on ITU I was working every other weekend. Generally junior doctors are more protected work time-wise in the NHS 😊
I am in a confusion that does NHS give jobs randomly? I mean do they give jobs on their own choice?? or they allow selecting the city in which I would like to work?? because I would like to settle down in London or around London city. Please answer me.
Hi Tahrim, it depends on which stage of your training you are at but you can apply either through a training programme or job at a trust. Generally they will let you rank your location preferences but otherwise allocation is set. Hope that helps!
@@mattbklee, I am going through the PLAB exam. And I want to apply for non-trainee, then do I allowed to apply for various levels as well as in different cities?? Really apologizing for bothering you again. And also thank you very much.

This video just boosted me with a lot of confidence. Seems like i need to work even harder. Thanks. Absolutely beautiful video. Made my day ❤❤😍🔥
I decided to not pursue medicine in Y11 because I realised I would have to do another 2 years of chemistry, kind of wished I did, looks great!
Love this video ! I really want to be a doctor after I’ve finished my gcses ( long way away I know) but an amazing insight into what it’s like
Thanks Rosie! You've got the passion for it, you've just got to work hard now!

Hey! Rewatching this for the 4th time as it’s really inspiring just wondering what is your job role in this video?
Hi Matthew! Do you happen to know how hard is it for internationals to get into the foundation programme in UK (especially London)? Love the video x
It has become easier due to some of the restrictions being lifted with regards to visa sponsorship (assuming you don’t have right to work in the uk).
All the information you need are on the UKFPO website.
The registration for this year has closed, however you can target when it’ll open in 2021 (usually between June-September).
Hey there, glad you enjoyed the video! As @kole ivy mentioned the visa limitations and application process have been lifted slightly to make it a bit easier. It's entirely doable - most people finish the PLAB before coming over and don't have any problems joining a programme!
Thank you both so much!

What is your rota like as in how frequently do you have to do on calls ie long days and nights
In your Id Card Lanyard Mentioned as Fy2 , means Foundation year 2 … when we get MRCP can we go directly to ST3 or ST4 level without doing Foundation as plab qualified doctors doing … please clear it for us ….
Inspiring video!
Can I get an advice, Dr Matthew?
I am also a young asian doctor planning to work in UK.
But i have a kind of anxiety with my short height which is 5’5” (165cm). I think you are a bit taller.
I sometimes have a worry whether big difference of heights with colleagues might bring disadvantages to my career in a Western country.
Meanwhile, I can see you look healthy, vibrant, radiant and virtuous, carrying so much confidence making racial/height difference faded away.
May I know how much time you give for exercises/sports to look healthy like this and did you need to overcome similar issue like mine?
Loved this!
You're just what the Doc Ordered!!
So is it like 9 to 5 most of the days? Is work life balance good there in the uk?
Hi Matt, great video. Would you say there is a lot of opportunity for doctors to work flexible rotas? I'm torn between trying to become a doctor or a dentist. I do like the 4 day work week which seems to be becoming the norm for dentists.

Bro just ignored the fire alarm 💀
Do we need home country medical licence for plab. I m studying medicine in China 🇨🇳 so after getting degree can i directly give plab without giving home country licence exam
I've just applied to work at Guys / St Thomas as an FY1! Im worried it will be unsupported here compared to DGH's in surrery, any advcie??
Keep up the Good work bro 💪
Hi guy , long time ago not see you , we hope you are doing well right now .
what hospital is this matt? I have also got an offer a hospital in central london and was wondering.
I just finished my UG and I want to move to UK but I'm scared of the racism there, of how people are going to perceive a foreign graduate. Do patients let you treat them? Is the lifestyle good enough for me to move from here?
Thanks for the great video! Do junior doctors need to go on calls? If so, until what time?
Omg 3:03 is so true. I’m in year 13 atm and saw that so much on my work experience! Thanks so much for this insight!
Life of a doctor I guess... things need to get done! Hope you enjoyed it 😊
Hi

Great Video!!Could you pls make a video on ur monthly expenditure living in london. And does the NHS offer extra pay to doctors working in London?
I'll try tackle that at some point yes! If you have any specific questions feel free to message me on instagram :)
Hello Matthew !
Need to ask you do you stay in hospital accommodation ?
I am starting to watch more and more doctor related videos i also want to become one moving away from car related topics to have a new obsession
Sweet vlog bro! Hope I make South Thames now!!
Thanks man! it's a great deanery, you'd fit right in 😉
Amazing! As a 14 yr old student, hat advice can u give me for being a doctor?
how much do u make a month including on calls and everything and how much you save after all expenditure in food and stay and all.? . i am looking for doing PLAB.. so that'd be helpful.. And also how hectic or tired do you feel after your duty each day?
What hospital do you work at! Your commute is amazing! Fellow med student here from America:)

Thanks Summer! Our work schedule depends on which rotation we're on but it's generally around 40-50 hours a week and most of us work 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 weekends. While I was on ITU I was working every other weekend. Generally junior doctors are more protected work time-wise in the NHS 😊
Can u plz help me hwo mich it costs to study mbbs in uk
I am in a confusion that does NHS give jobs randomly? I mean do they give jobs on their own choice?? or they allow selecting the city in which I would like to work?? because I would like to settle down in London or around London city.
Please answer me.
Hi Tahrim, it depends on which stage of your training you are at but you can apply either through a training programme or job at a trust. Generally they will let you rank your location preferences but otherwise allocation is set. Hope that helps!
@@mattbklee, I am going through the PLAB exam. And I want to apply for non-trainee, then do I allowed to apply for various levels as well as in different cities??
Really apologizing for bothering you again. And also thank you very much.

Do you have to wash your own scrubs? Does the hospital wash the scrubs or do you get a fresh set each time?
