Next week I start my 1st ever series of night shifts as a doctor

Anyone got any good tips for surviving them?

Genuinely don’t know what to expect or how to prepare

(Think I’ve seen threads 🧡 about this before but can’t seem to find them, so feel free to link them if you can)

Finished my 1st day working as a doctor

…& I loved it*. This is exactly what I’ve been dreaming. I loved finally getting to do even the most mundane of dr tasks

From 4 August 2025, sexual health clinics will be able to offer a free vaccine to patients at highest risk of the sexually transmitted infection (STI), including gay and bisexual men who have a recent history of multiple sexual partners and a bacterial STI in the previous 12 months.

The 4CMenB vaccine will help shield those most at risk of gonorrhoea - potentially averting up to 100,000 cases of the disease, while easing pressure on vital NHS services.

It will play a significant role in the government’s shift from sickness to prevention as it makes the NHS fit for the future as part of its Plan for Change.

On Monday, the 4CMenB vaccine for gonorrhoea has now been rolled out in sexual health clinics in the UK

Pls recommend this to your at-risk patients, it’ll help reduce gonorrhoea rates & limit the increase in antibiotic-resistant β€˜super’ gonorrhoea

This bleep is mine for the next 4 months

Years of med school, training, and blood, sweat, & tears have led to me becoming a doctor

Wishing luck & positive vibes to all my fellow new FY1s (we got this πŸ’ͺ)

Despite all its *difficulties*, we chose this profession for a reason

I know it’s a busy time to be travelling but it’s my last time before I’m busy doctoring!

Preferable nowhere that’ll be horrendously hot and busy

(Was considering Krakow(?) - has anyone been and would suggest it??)

Lots of people with same illness aren’t lucky, many remain chronically unwell, hospitalised,l & struggle to find an effective meds

I hope that we can develop more effective treatments for people with SMI in the future, so they can live healthy, fulfilled lives like me

I have trauma from my time being unwell & being hospitalised.

I’m lucky to be 2 years stable, & I have recently passed med school

Having had my own lived experience of SMI & hospitalisation, I hope I can draw on those experiences to have empathy for my future patients

One thing that sucks about being an adult is you don’t get to spend beautiful
spring/summery nice weather midweek afternoons playing rounders with your friends… You have to do work instead

Growing up is such a scam fml
