Key Milestones Of The NHS

Last year, we celebrated the NHS’s 75th birthday. This momentous achievement can be celebrated by having a brief look back at its history and how the NHS has shaped England, chartering an exciting course for the future of medicine whilst simultaneously taking care of the 56 million people in our country. After taking a very brief tour of the NHS over time we can see how influential and vital it has been on a national scale. This especially has been highlighted in recent years, with the global pandemic and all the various levels of protection that were put in place to keep us safe.

Amongst the academia involved in studying medicine, I have thrown myself into a multitude of diverse experiences ranging from society events to joining the university badminton team. I have enjoyed every bit of university so far and am looking forward to my second semester.

Study Methods I Used to Achieve 3 A*s in A- level Biology, Chemistry and Geography

I used a wide- array of study techniques at A- level. The first half- term of lower sixth entailed me trialling different methods for each subject to figure out which method provided me with the best outcome (with the effectiveness highlighted through performance on the end of unit tests).

The Corona Cohort: My Experience as an FY1 Doctor

The pandemic and lockdown were a strange time for us all, but perhaps especially so for those of us who were due to graduate that summer, AKA the ‘corona cohort’. I studied at Nottingham, so had (fortunately) finished my finals and had my results before the pandemic was declared. Slightly
