How to cope with the First Paediatrics job in the NHS.

Many IMG junior doctors start their first job in the Paediatrics department and may find the department work different from what they have experienced in their home countries.

Dr Abrar is an ST doctor in Paediatrics and currently working in Manchester.

In this video, he explained the basic structure of the Paediatrics department, the role of doctors and other staff, what to expect and some tips on how to manage a junior role in Paediatrics.

This video is a bit too positive or may be he is talking in context of a small DGH unit. There is less support on busy tertiary care units specially in big citees like London and Manchester becauae there is no time for constant supervision.

SHOs do do some independent work like seeing postnatal babies all alone, going for deliveries alone and initiating resus if required,
Regis cant write all prescriptions, SHOs have to do it including complax NICU infusions.
