- Let's talk briefly about how breaks work for doctors working in the NHS. Please note, I'm talking specifically about England and make reference to the 2016 England junior doctors contract: www.nhsemployers.org/publicat...

Hi Ollie, I'm currently a FY1 in Yorkshire. I 100% agree on taking a break even when it is busy, often the work never slows down and often jobs can actually wait till after you've had your lunch (Of course if someone is acutely unwell then this is a different story). We have to encourage our colleagues to do this, as it isn't uncommon for doctors to not take a break altogether due to the pressure of completing all the tasks. This video empowers doctors to exercise their right to simply have a break, thank you.
Thanks for the kind feedback Sarah - definitely been there myself. The only way this changes is if we look out for each other.
Excellent point about assigning break times at the beginning of a shift. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the UKFP application changes.
Thank you for everything you're offering🙏🏻
Several months late to this video but glad you addressed the point at 6:00. Literally had a Sister force us to stagger lunch breaks 'in case someone became unwell' (there were 0 sick patients on the ward at the time, so this was purely precaution)
You tell the Sister to take it up with your consultant if they have an issue - they are not your line manager or boss. They are a colleague that you work with, not for.
@@OllieBurtonMed wasn't expecting a reply, thank you for doing so. what I forgot to mention was that although the Sister forced us, we (primarily the FY2) stood firm and we're able to have our lunch together. as for what you advised, whilst I agree with it, I cannot confidently say that back when I was a relatively new FY1, I had the courage to do so. now as an FY2 with a bit more knowledge of how things should/n't work I will push back if need be, but cannot imagine myself doing so in FY1
Hello, my friend, how are you? I have a question, please, what are the materials that X-rays cannot penetrate❤❤
Hey Ollie, I was planning on applying for FY1 in UK next year, I was wondering how prescribing medications work for junior doctors, since I studied somewhere else medications I know have different names over there, will we have time to learn them over the course of weeks or we're expected to know them right off the bat?
Hey! Welcome to the NHS when the time comes (and heaven help you) - I suppose that if you were joining us as an FY1, you would be expected to know at least what drugs to give, as any F1 should. In the NHS we tend to prescribe by generic drugs wherever we can as it's cheaper, it's rare to need to know particular brand names or anything like that. And you always have time to look it up, or ask a colleague - the BNF is always available, which is the national drug formulary resource for the UK. Plus of course most things that are relevant for your job you will pick up in the first few weeks anyway.
Hi Ollie, thanks for making this video. Am I right in thinking that you use simple jump cuts? Have you tried using J cuts instead? They look a little better in my opinion and shouldn't be too much work in whatever editing software you use... Obviously this is just based on seeing the video, not the edit, so please correct me if I'm wrong in my initial assumption.
Hi Aaro, yes for this kind of talking-head video I tend to use jump cuts. For more documentary-style stuff I use J-cuts a lot, it just mostly never makes it to RUclips since it tends to be done for organisations. To be honest I'm still at the unfortunate stage where most of my editing decisions are made owing to lack of time - eventually I want to hire an external editor but am not there financially yet.

take ur breaks boss
