This sounds great. This is the specialty I would like to do when I get to that stage
A sympathetic psychiatrist who is willing to chop and change (esp where anti-psychotics are concerned) is word their weight in gold. I've been able to live a fulfilling life (and complete my own PhD despite having a very big serious diagnosis) because the psychiatrist was willing to try each drug and then - if side effects caused more problems, to try another option. Side effects vary from patient to patient, from sudden and extreme weight gain which is equally devastating for a young person who has been naturally slim, as I was; to suicidality and depersonalisation, caused by the depot Clopixol, to stopped periods, caused by amisulpuride. Combination therapy for me - lithium plus quetiapene has been a godsend, and has served me well for nearly 5 years now (after an initial 5 years of very difficult ins and outs in psych wards, while trying to juggle my own grad studies!). I firmly believe psychiatry saved my life, and despite some horrible experiences with some anti-psychotics, I firmly believe in the treatment, esp where serious illnesses like type 1 bipolar (and the stigmas the episodes themselves perpetuate) are concerned.
are you aiming for st1/st2 neurosurg application in the future? I managed to get CT1 psych this year, saw the st2 neurosurg had a 53:1 competition ratio and I actually cried
ST1 yeah. There's a 12 month post-Foundation experience limit for ST1 so that ST2 post will be unbelievably tough to get.
Hey Ollie, thanks for the updates and best of wishes to you in your new job in London, seems to be in line with your plans. looking forward to watching your video titled "Today I start my specialty training in Neurosurgery"
Thank you Ollie, I'm starting F1 next month with my 3rd rotation in General Psych, also looking to specialise in Psych later so defo looking forward to it
Good luck! It's been a great job, am sure you'll enjoy it
CAN you get in psychiatry a non training job?
I am curious to know which trust you worked at Tyne and wear has 7 different trusts for mental health for physchiatry deanery for Newcastle University.
Hi Ollie i am now at preregistration clinician level in mental health and i am more ready than i have been in our previous discussions do you see how much impact the surgeons have harmed the pyschiatric patients with all of these strikes. Pysch training is incredibly difficult. I have been from mental health support worker to preregistration clinician from a mental health specialism. You are totally out of your comfort zone how did you get on? Was your lecturer adi Sharma by any chance? He is the Newcastle uni medical school lecturer of psychiatry he's actually pretty good with everything. I worked with him a lot for a number of years.
Just got my Outcome 6! I did psych on my first rotation which was great. Got to have my own clinics at the CMHT. Now on to IMT1!
I'm about to start my FY1 job and I will also have Psychiatry as my last rotation 😂😂😂
Hey Ollie, what were your hours like on psych rotation?
Very 9-5 with the occasional evening on call through until 9pm
@@OllieBurtonMedmight be an awkward question so feel free to not answer it but was the pay much lower compared to a “medical” job?
Hey Ollie. How would you describe the work-life balance in psych versus other specialties?
Hi Steph! It seems better from my limited experience than most, although all specialties are hard work. I'm trying to get a psychiatrist on for a careers talk soon
@@OllieBurtonMed Thank you, that would be amazing!
Sounds good
I didn’t think SHOs existed anymore, in the same way HOs don’t
House officer doesn't really exist anymore but SHO definitely does - very widely used even today
@@OllieBurtonMed I agree they are still widely used to describe the FY2, FY3, CT1/2 ST1/2 (some specialties ST3) GPST1 GPST2 CMT1 CMT2 CST1 CST2 group of doctors but actually following MMC in 2005 it was replaced. 😀

🤦🏻♀️ Remove that pronoun nonsense.
No
@@OllieBurtonMed you need to look in to who was the first person who proposed the separation of gender from sex, and what 'experiment' he carried out and how that impacted the two brothers, then you would sure think twice before using these.
@@qm6595 I have had patients express to me that they feel more safe and comfortable in receiving care when I use their preferred pronouns. I have no regrets whatsoever for offering my pronouns to viewers of this channel, such that people feel welcome.
@@OllieBurtonMed That’s a shame.
how does it remotely affect you. These are people you will likely never meet in your entire lifetime. It is simultaneously none of your business nor your responsibility to criticise how one individual wants to be known as. No different to a name. If you dont like it, keep your pronouns, no-one is asking you to change yours.
