What a roller coaster the last 2 years have been. But despite many awful moments, the pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to rethink how we approach many aspects of our lives and what is possible with a little flexibility and forward thinking.
Last year I had the privilege of being an ICM clinical fellow at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, and I absolutely loved it. The city, the patients and the staff made it a year I’ll never forget.
Leaving school I had little idea of what I wanted to be “when I grow up,” so I pursued my interests and choose to study BSc Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham. Fast forward to my final year of study and I was little the wiser as to where I wanted my career to take me.
I love Emergency Medicine, possibly not the most appropriate start to a FICM blog, but it is true. I love the variety, the pace, but most of all I love the people, be they patients or staff, and the teamwork.
