Just thinking about all those great scientists and doctors from the past is so inspiring! Just in the last 100 years we've created the vaccine for polio, sent humans to the moon, the range of medications we have has vastly increased and then there's IT - the Internet is, in my opinion the next industrial… Continue reading Innovation Is Dead

How To Destroy The NHS In Five Easy Steps!
Mr Hunt makes yet another appearance on my blog! :p So, I could spend my time ranting at/about Mr Hunt. There are plenty of reasons to do so. Yesterday he announced that he will be making doctors work for at least four years in the NHS after they graduate. Obviously, this is a really lame… Continue reading How To Destroy The NHS In Five Easy Steps!
NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think
So I met with my software developers today and I think they've pretty much nailed it. It was actually really incredible, because I hardly gave them any direction in what I wanted the app to look like. I just told them what functionality I wanted in detail and told them to be as creative as they… Continue reading NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think
NHS Innovation Expo & Updates!
Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here guys! It's been really busy for the last couple of weeks! Essentially, I've got a lot of frogs in my bowl at the moment and I'm trying to make sure that nothing jumps out! I've been studying for an exam I will be doing in October. If… Continue reading NHS Innovation Expo & Updates!
It’s Messy
University was this: Patient comes in, you listen to them, you do some tests, you give them treatments and then you've fixed them. Real life is this: Patient comes in, they talk about things in a way that you can't understand (e.g. "it burns behind my knees all the time, except when I'm doing something),… Continue reading It’s Messy
NHS Startup Part VI – Screw It, Let’s Do It
I've just given the green light to my developers to go ahead and start building our product. It was a bank holiday weekend the last three days and each night I've been tossing and turning. So many thoughts go through your head when you're about to sink most of your savings into a project. But… Continue reading NHS Startup Part VI – Screw It, Let’s Do It
Are We Going Around In Circles?
I was having induction at my new Family Practice a month ago. This was so I understood how the practice worked before I started seeing my patients on my own. Insanely insightful seeing all these patients go on their journey after being seen by the doctor. Doctors have to collect data and trial a lot of… Continue reading Are We Going Around In Circles?
How To Reflect
I really love writing this blog. It's so much fun being able to just put your honest thoughts and insights down. As long as I don't name names and keep things as apolitical as possible, it seems that I can write about anything I want! It's funny though, I have to also do "reflections" as… Continue reading How To Reflect
He Didn’t Remember
I remember when I was working in General Surgery and I was having fleeting thoughts of surgery as a career. There was one moment that made me realise that I definitely didn't want to do it. I was a SHO in general surgery at this point. I was referred a patient from the ED… Continue reading He Didn’t Remember
The Instructions Will Kill You
"You will be part of the crash team and if you are the first on the scene will need to lead the cardiac arrest scenario" "You will be involved in the major trauma calls and carry out procedures such as chest drains etc." "If a patient turns violent then you must press the panic button… Continue reading The Instructions Will Kill You
