Back in May, we launched a competition, asking doctors to volunteer a blog post with the title, “What I wish I’d know for my foundation years.” The idea is to support the latest cohort of foundation year doctors who have arrived in the NHS at the start of August.
We can now reveal the winners of the competition as:
- Winner: Subashini Wickramathilake
- Runner-up: Himani Murdeshwar
Both Subashini and Himani have now received their choices from our range of online courses as the first element of their prizes. We will be publishing their winning blog-posts over the next week or so on our News & Insights webpage and will also include them in our next Insights newsletter.
Our two winners also joined both Alex Rouse from our Faculty of Tutors and myself in discussion on a short webinar which will be posted on our News & Insights webpage in the near future.
The entry which made us smile…
We’d like to give a special mention to Rubab Batool, who provided us with the shortest entry to the competition:
“It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to feel absolutely clueless , it’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to feel as if you don’t know anything. It’s natural and it’s common. We all felt this way and most likely you will feel this way. Remember to ask your seniors about their favourite and cleanest toilets (apparently that is another secret ).”
Some wise words – and some which made us smile there! As a result, we decided to award Rubab with the 3rd prize which was one course from our online range.
Please share this page with anyone who you know who is starting their foundation years. The webinar is free and everyone is welcome.
