straight to live because you're well used to it. Now, um, well, used to chair the grass, have cutting, and you have to go on to hold up your soul. Same, right? We're live, folks. My absolute pleasure to introduce Doctor Rafferty, Um, G p g p trainer in the out of ours and also postgraduate medical education. Fellow. I've heard her speak. She didn't talk for us. She's absolutely fantastic. I'll leave you in the capable hands of Doctor Daniel Rafferty. Uh, thanks very much to, and hopefully you gang can all see and hear me. I'm doctor on your Rafferty. Call me on you, please. Um um and good afternoon. And firstly, I just would like to thank the medical education team for this opportunity to speak. Yes, I'm one of many folks who have got this event up and going. I would like to thank them all. It takes a whole team to organize something like this and thank you for all being online. Hello to all those online currently and in the future. So hello to you all. And it's an honor to be able to speak to you all but something that I love and do And just a few rules. Pop the questions in the chat and I'll answer them as I go along. And, yeah, just like what Tim said, My I'm g p in the out of Irish. I'm also an education fellow in the Southern Trust, and I'm also a GP out of our trainer. So, um, first of all, I want to ask you a question directly. You need to figure out what do you want to do yourself? You can do in short, anything. You can do anything from a nonmedical job like banking or medical tech job, like working for the medical companies over in England or Northern Ireland. We've plenty here. Or you can take the traditional roots like we have here a know and love from the consultants and, um uh, from traditional routes that you have been taught in medical school. Okay, so that's the first question I want to tell you and ask yourself So what do you want to do? There's a really good, um, quote from Confucius, which is a Chinese philosopher. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. So I'm one of those lucky people that I do love working and I love working and what I do. And you'll hear lots of repetition throughout the whole of the day's event about what people say and why they like to work when they do. Brief overview. So you know yourself. It takes about 10 years to become a GP. However, it takes about 14 years to become a hospital. Consult however, if you want to start a family, use your matter. Pat. Leave. Go do something different. Do a Masters PhD MD Or maybe heck, even go travel the world that might take longer. So you're training time might end up to be, like, 20 years from the start of medical school right to the end of your hospital, I chose G. P. Not only do I love G p, I chose G P because I knew it was short, quick and done. I got the job done. So if you can look at here, I'm gonna show you my iPad. Um, it takes about that's where we are now for me. I'm on a trajectory of 13 years at the minute, and I'm going to put it at the site as well. But you guys are probably medical school, if not medical school just after. So when you come to after medical school, you will all start foundation training, and after your foundation training, you'll get the F two. Then you would then apply. If you would like to. We would love you to two g p. And there are currently three steps to do so So Stage 12 and three. Stage one is a paper based assessment. Stage two is the actual application, and if you get in or not for an interview, and Stage three is the interview, so you'll still have to Stage two includes a test as well, and stage three is the Yassky. Um, currently, I don't think stage three happens anymore, but that's okay. Um, I think you still have to do your test. So whenever I was applying for GP had to do those 123 stages perfectly, and I did that in my F three year. So during my f three year, I did that. I applied for my GP training. I also did my pediatrics paper. I did m RCPs part one. I really enjoyed that very hard, very scary. I did that during my locum year in in E D. Because I had to marry my husband. He's a beautiful man. Shout out to Paul and you can. And then you can see that there that I then did the pizza paper Part one, followed by the Osti. I then started my psychiatry diploma in my first year of of GP training, followed by my, uh, finishing off impedes, which was great in the middle of my G p training. I did the first part of the medical education, uh, certificate. And then at the end of my GP training and I got to s t three, I did my our cgp exams. When I finished my training G p land, I did the diploma in medical education, and I'm working towards my masters. But realistically, that sounds a bit much. Okay, What do you need to do in real life? To become a GP? Is this You just need to apply the application, do your a k t and do your RCA and then bam, you're done. Jobs are good. So what do I do now? So, currently, I work as a med aid fellow Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. And that's a regular job pattern. Okay? Something that you would use to school. Um, and I also work two sessions and out of art. I'm working three sessions this week cause I love it so much. I do love it. I think it's really important to care and give a monkey's about your community, especially when they've reared and help you along the way to get to where you are today. During my work day to day work, I prepare all skis, do assessments with my colleagues. I do a lot of teaching in the foundation and training program, and I also take part and provide postgraduate training and teaching. We meet regularly about how to develop the medical education department and how to improve the experience of the medical students and the foundation doctors and the postgraduate doctors here in Craigavon. So I got to show you my typical wake, as you can see here. There you go. Uh, okay. Great. So you can see there that my typical week, I we record a lot of our medical teaching here in the trust. Maybe Monday and Tuesday. I can spend a lot of my work, figuring out sorting out all these videos that we make for you can people to make sure that you watch and learn and like watching them and enjoy learning them. That could be Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, I'm teaching Thursday. I could be at a course getting taught myself or trying to get more competency. So whenever I teach you, I'm the best I could possibly can be. And on Friday, I may be up at Nimda doing my other job with the clinical facility rule, doing the flight modules or whatnot. Some of the challenges I face during my job during the day is on. Yeah, that's a great we number that you've got in the hospital. How did you get that? Well, frankly, it's because I applied for it, came up, did and I applied for it, and I got got it. Main challenges I get during the job during my day to day job in the medical education department is the difficulties in managing other doctors. A lot of other doctors have different expectations about teaching and how it should be performed and how it should be delivered, trying to manage them and negotiate with them And so we talked them And how to do it the way that I think from my experience, going through training and from the people I admire. Yeah, like everything else. There's limited hospital resources. There's limited ability and technical staff. But that's all the joy about where I work. People ask me regularly. Do you not work in G P out of our or do you not working normal daytime G p anymore. Short answer is no. I'm here. So I'm working here on regularly. I've noticed. I've got two minutes left. So, um, in my GP out of hours world, I'm a trainer. I take GPS T 12 and three twos and threes. Mostly, um, if they wish, I probably have one or two already booked in with me this week, and we're going to fly through our patient together and make sure they're safe and make sure that the best GPS I can make them by the time they're finished. Uh, I work from six. To midnight. Um, then, uh, there's two sites in the Southern Trust is the largest geographical trust in Northern Ireland. Daisy Hill. Whoa. And, um, Per Gavin. So there's two of us. There's two sites that we both work at. There should be three GPS in each site. Sometimes there's none. Sometimes there's one. Sometimes there's me, and sometimes it's my husband and I and and we both work on the out of ours and support our surrounding area. Most cases that you deal with whenever union of ours is acutely unwell. Child. The palliative care patient's and the mentally unwell Children, Children, adults melting on mentally unwell adults. Now traditionally in Northern Ireland, it's been the G P. P section and detain the patient's. Uh um, you know, if they're mentally unwell rather than in England, it's psychiatrist. That's just one of those traditional things, so we can be quite busy in regard to that. My trainer roll, I am. It's great. I really enjoy working with Chinese Doctors mean Well, generally they're very positive people, and they want to do their best and learn. I'm just aware of the time we need to go now. I really love my job. My job is so versatile. I just want to make sure that if you become a GP, you're like Plato. You can be hammered into any shape that you want. My husband does sports medicine, my mates to gynecology. I do education and there's such a range in a variety. Now don't be limited to one specialty. Do them all by everyone seeing the main stage, seeing the main stage in three seconds.
