Advice from Previous students
Seek Opportunities
Know your timetable and what you need to achieve. Follow patients up, and seek feedback!
Challenge Yourself!
Review patients outside your comfort zone, those with clinical signs post-ward round, and discuss them with other specialities. And ask questions!
Practice Clinical Skills
Practice these where possible! There are a lot of opportunities to take bloods, do a VBG or ABG, even suturing!
A-E Assessments
Practice your A-E assessments and clerk as many patients as you can in ED.
Clerk patients
Have a go at admission clerking, and compare your work with their notes.
