Immerse in session 4 of our Foundation Year 1 training, presented by Dr. Kirupakaran tomorrow at 18:30 BST. Aimed to offer a broader understanding of the F1 role in medicine and surgery, this session will lead you through the average working day of an F1, providing insights into critical documentation skills for ward rounds, discharge summaries, and tackling common on-call scenarios. Elevate your clinical acuity and navigate your profession with confidence by mastering the FY1 role and responsibilities.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to understand the structure of the F1 working day in both medicine and surgery, with a focus on primary duties and responsibilities during typical working hours.
Participants will learn how to effectively prepare for, execute and document findings during ward rounds. This will include learning the key aspects of medical documentation, noting improvements and changes in patient conditions, and maintaining an organized record of medical history.
The session will equip participants with the skills to effectively write discharge summaries. This will involve understanding the functions and importance of a discharge summary, structuring the summary properly, ensuring all necessary information is included and becoming familiar with common yet clinically significant syndromes, diseases, and preventions.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to manage common on-call scenarios with competence. They will gain an understanding of the common issues they may encounter while on call and the typical responses to such scenarios.
Ultimately, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of the role and expectations of an F1 in a real-life medical setting. This learning objective extends beyond practical skills to cover perspective, professionalism, teamwork, relationship with colleagues, and stress management.
