Thank you very much. Generally Good morning. Everybody will get afternoon, everybody. I'm rather her. I'm, uh, an S t five at saying George is a the moment you might hear some music and some noise in the background. It's my mom's 60. It's today. So I unfortunately had to do the presentation from the restaurant. But, you know, life happens, so I hope that this presentation wouldn't will inspire some of you to consider it What I think is the best specialty. But, I mean, they're all amazing, but so my favorite specialty and something like, absolutely enjoy which is much like surgery. So let me just to make these lives work. So I think first consider consideration is is why would you consider Matt's? In fact, why would you consider surgery it all? I think we're very privileged in surgery to have an intellectual challenge. Know Day is the same medication just the same. They all come with different needs on, but I love that I'm constantly a challenge. Technically, I have to work with people, which is which can be challenging a times. And but I get to work in a team just wonderful, and I truly believe that some I make a positive a difference to people's lives. So I think that's one of the best fifties. So what is my specialty? I think unfortunately, undergraduate medical education does not explode. Expose you to a wonderful sort of expressions that there are particularly my own, and mine is really concerned with diagnosis and treatment. Off disease is affecting the face, mouth, jaws and neck on, but this is a list of a long list of things that we do, but we do Facial injuries, acute infection of the head and neck, head neck cancer with the reconstruction saliva, gland disease, facial disporting lost wishes for significance, but also cleft in favor of facial aesthetic surgery. Facial the animations, oral medicine. As you can see, the line at the best continues. I. I really love that It's so varied, but also that we have multiple, very working. So these are three tweets of which are 22 of the same events and a third poster as well all from the last two months, all showing different ways of multi disciplinary working in my specialty, which is amazing. A joint force with the Ent A course with are allied health professions professionals and the consultants. I work for a moment to made a a splash on Twitter a while back with the joint enter match fax cardiothoracic a joint operation on a Saturday morning. So I think it's really nice that we we worked well together since there's so much joint working in the head next base any. So what do we do? So we certainly do trauma, and the reason I'm sort of showing this to us is, I think a lot of people don't know what my specialty does. So head neck, so sort of facial fractures as you can see, a swell a soft tissue in juices. Also hard and soft tissues on also cancers head neck. So were all typically on, also of the face of a saliva glands. So this is a reconstruction of a tongue cancer, one of the most common SCC's from the oral cavity. And this is one of my favorite things to do microvascular anastomosis with the microscope. So something that I really enjoy. So it's a really nice combination of microscopic and microscopic surgical skills we do off the graphics surgery, and this is a girl. This is all from Google, so these are all easily available images. But you know, this girl's face has been changed but actually have function is also been improved with. Actually, she could never bite into an apple item agin with that, the way hurt the teeth are. Yeah, but you can see how profound her aesthetics also changed. So it's it's we're very privileged to have Ah, an area where we cannot use the most function, but also does medics a swell we do Clifton Craniofacial. This is a clip on destructing osteogenesis for someone with a hemifacial microsomia on But we do have a lot of great tech, and I think I used to always think it's mainly things like a T. You know that have weight, tech, but way do a lot of robotic surgery. We do prosthetics. We got I do a lot of virtual surgical plan, which is this bottom left picture here on. Also, I'm very privileged to have worked for this consultant very recently. Professor Andy, who's who really shows, demonstrates the forefront in which some people in my specialty you're going and he's doing digital engineering specifically in head neck reconstruction and is a distinct pressure test with Crime Field University on. It's great as a junior, I think I I got to do something with my hands every day. So lots and lots of facial lacerations you're admitting mandibles or patients with headache infections. So you're doing a loss. And York, I think it's really exciting and dynamic, so I think it's a great job to do, even if you decided not to do a career in it. But especially, I think before you embark on a career, you need to get some experience in a specialty. So how how do you do that in mind. So if you're a medical student, get to know, you know, or you're a junior doctor. We I delighted to have people come and visit that we don't get them back. Students on We love, love, love to show. Show you what we do. Students elects modules and Max. Fax Elective. Lots of people go all over the world. I went to Maryland to Baltimore, actually, so I got to see some formers and cancer, which was fantastic. I've got lots of colleagues who wanted Johannesburg. Cape Town really got to get their hand stuck in with some former. But there are so many places in the world, a taste of weeks, certainly during foundation training to be really valuable, Bounds has now started doing tastes too much. I crush the trainee lead resource to help give you a flavor of what our specialty is. There's also the junior training is we're push are fantastic group people who are usually either considering or have started their second degree and their their support. Junior trainees right up from their having being either single, qualified or even medical. Um, graduate students are either on medicine again through all the way till they've come. Registrars on. They have a Facebook group. They have an annual conference. They're really very supportive. I'm going to do a little plug my food conference course this year. And Aberdeen. We're doing a plate in course. So do you want to know a little bit more about our specialty? That's a great way to conferences in projects, audits and also learning to health care and have some modules that you can do so just so you can get a flavor of what we do on for those who are a little bit further along. Perhaps you finished your first degree means barked in our second week. If there's, um, entry and support program organized by bombs so that you are buddy it up with someone. And also there's met some videos on bound upset fights to give you more information about certain aspects of our session. See, so what's the pathway? I think that's seventh. This is always a confusing one, and I'm going to focus. As you can see on the screen. There are two. There's the dental to be on the Medic three. Ultimately, you have to have both on it doesn't matter which way around you do it ultimately, where you're all doing the same job. I'm going to focus on medical first because I presume that's where most of you are on. There are two natural breaks after you finish medical sport at which you could consider starting your date of debris. So some people finish their F one F two. And after that, I want to finish the foundation trait training. They start their dental school or first quarter. Really, I don't think there's much of a difference and which time you do it, because when you come out, if you've done if two you can either apply for a ST one month through or complete core training and then apply for test in three. And for those who applied to support Donkor training before taking potentially, apply straight Rusty three once they've graduated. The one thing I should mention, though, is that for those people who have computed both degrees, the requirement for ST three applications is that you only need 12 months coordinating at the moment, as long as you have been signed off by your generally have completed all your port or competencies for CST on that varies from doing great. Not all of them. Except that So you're not really saving on another time so apart from s. So once you decide you want to embark on this, where where do you go? So there are seven dental schools in the country that will offer an accelerated program At the moment on these are a body Newcastle, UCLA, and live for breast Um, Kay Ciel. So they all off before their programs. KCL offers College 100 also offers a three year program on these are applications the goods that I I think the value of doing an accelerated degree is huge when you're considering your finances. So as you can see on this field doing an accelerated by with three or four year program, you get in any chest. Mostly, I'm not sooner than I would if you were doing the full undergraduate degree again, So I would really encourage you to do an accelerated program if you were considering it. I think money is one of the biggest parts of barriers or considerations that people have when they're considering. You're a second degree is how to how to make it work. I had any chest. First three, I had a student loan. Bounds is amazing. They are really they really recognize that it's a big financial commitment on day offer up to 2000 lbs of the year as the ground to search to students in their second degree for projects. And these are up their choice on last year. I believe they gave over 37 off them out. So that's a lost money that they have out just to support people. And you can apply for this every year. It's certainly not enough to live off of. There's something else to support you on there. All the rest reasons well, that you can access, including the ones that mentioned here. I, uh, throughout my second degree, I watched part time on on Holiday is a swell, so I think that's really important. And when you're considering whether to do it post after work or training, I think thinking about the values of where you can look on what your local writers that may may differ, and that may be a consideration for you post CT Most most quantitation training. But ultimately there's there's lots of work around on, but I think I had to put the slide in somewhere because I think it's great to see that's my specialty has a fair number of women. Certainly, we're not 50 50 but no special two years yet. But we are getting there. So we have a high proportion of female consultant in my specialty On that number seems to be increasing that number for a few more stores. There are a swell now the reason I put this up, this is the competition ratios for, and I'll just highlight them. If you can see my mouth. Mouth's even over best Testing one and S t three The real bottle elect to get into my specialty is actually your application for your second degree on. So you've gotten through your set a second degree, Really? You know, we really want to make sure that you told through and come through out the other side. So that's why that reflects that quite that you know, the competition ratio is less than 11 1st e three. The reason ST one is so much higher is is that there are most far fewer ST one positions in the country, so so that there is a little bit of a higher competition racial, but actually I think that will change. And also you can do called training a swell. So it's some it's, you know, it's still a very good job to go into. I've had highlighted two areas of the ST one job description, which I think are quite relevant on, but they're quite similar. I think most of it amongst all the surgical specialties are fairly similar. But I think this really recognize is that it's a little skills that you fire. You do don't have to have done a job, and that's that's because I think for medical training is to have done a four month place into match. Fax is actually quite difficult. There are only a few, so of course it's for places around the country. They have this increasing, so it's it's a desirable rather than an essential criteria that you've had six months experience and Max fax. You could certainly show your interest by joining the J T. P, which, which is now all the mental and skim it once you've done your second degree on. Also, if you if you show your enthusiasm for special two electives, extra color curricular activities, joining the junior trainees croup, the on the mentorship skiing that demonstrates that you want to be part of our our specialty. Onda were quite understanding, but it's it is difficult to get a court training or, ah, foundation year experience in this in our specialty. So why should you take the jump? So it's a very very, uh I think you make a huge impact on patients. We have great innovation tech. I'm very fortunate work with a wage is on. But we are a small specialty, So you will be working with all the ages from the very young to the very old. On dairy is a large scope for academia. Once you get through your second degree, your it's much best competitive for mtn Onda. I lost that. We work with us the specialties. I think it's so valuable that we have that, uh when there's no real downside as far as I'm concerned too. Such poor trading buts. You do need to financially plan your second degree. I'm being an undergraduate the second time, but really I think that's about it. So how I hope this is inspired to some of you to consider Max axes it as a search anymore. Surgery specialty of choice. But please, do you get to, you know, unit from all very welcoming. While it's not essential to have, um, a best experience when you're applying Testim one or three, it is very helpful. Um, do you to live your taste a week doing elective doing SSE come teo to the pre conference course this year on Get to know us so thank you very much. Thank you. I don't know if there are any questions. Ah, but if there are any at all, please go ahead. Right. Great. Thank you. So thank you so much for that. Took it. That was good. That was really good to know is well, like, I think you're right at medical school. We don't really have. You know, I didn't have certainly a lot of exposure to you and Max Max a tool. Um, you know, it sort of through here. Say, Oh, you know, you can do it with two degrees and and people can't quite work out exactly what's going on. So I think that's useful. And someone has asked a question, but I think you've answered it. Just say do you have to do another BDs degree after completing your M B Bs so she'd be digested like a dental? Yes, it's the dental degree. So you have to be dually qualified in medicine and industry. You need to be read. But, um, a fast counts is a surgical specialties. So you have to be registered with the GMC, But you need a registered qualification that Judy. See, we do not have to be registered with them to a blind to ST 37. Yes. No, no. Great. I'm I can't see any of the questions, and so I think we'll leave it there. But thank you so much. That was That was really if and key. Thank you very much. Everyone Take care. Bye.
