Happy New Year Everyone!! I'm raising money for Prostate Cancer UK this entire month as a tribute to my dad. I'll be running/walking 70 miles over the month to mark what would have been his 70th birthday on Jan 11th. It would mean so much if you could donate to a cause close to my heart. https://runthemonthme.prostatecanceru...

Today's video is one for anyone about to start the clinical years at medical school. This is usually 2nd or 3rd year of the undergraduate course and it can be a complete change of pace and lifestyle from the normal university experience of being sat in a lecture theatre. Here's my attempt at calming those preplacement nerves and sharing what I've learnt from my first 6 placements.
