Tomorrow, the first Wednesday in August, will be the first day of being a doctor for all foundation year one doctors in the UK. It will also be the first day that many doctors start specialty training or become a more senior specialty trainee.
Understandably, lots of doctors in this situation will be feeling a mixture of excitement and pure terror!
We thought it would be helpful to hear from our junior doctors of MWF to get their advice on the transition from student to doctor and at different stages of medical training. We also asked our social media followers who helpfully shared lots of their top tips with us!
Our junior doctor members also share what they have gained from being a member of MWF and why they would encourage others to join.
GOOD LUCK to all of you starting new jobs, especially our new FY1 colleagues. You've got this!!
