I qualified from Nottingham in 2004 if that counts 🙂

Yup, we float around and occasionally poke our heads in here to see what's happening.

I qualified from Birmingham Uni just a few months back - been an official working doctor for just over a month now...

Peaceful - you based in the UK? Or hoping to base yourself here?
 
I'm going into my second year at St. Andrews University (part of the St Andrews/Manchester program)

what's up?
 
I'm curious. Whats the life of the new qualified like? Is it quite a shift from uni to a full time doc? You enjoying it?

Definitely enjoying it!

Learning curve just gets ever steeper though... It's long hours, but no longer than I expected (shorter actually), and the cameraderie is amazing (so long as you have a good rep for not dumping jobs on your fellow newbies).

So all in all, having a great time, even if I don't know what to do half the time... 😛
