Sharp Scratch

Christmas on the wards


Listen Later

The festive season is officially here! This time of year is all about spreading peace and goodwill, and if you’re looking for good will, one place you’re almost certain to find it is the NHS. 

 

While working throughout the Christmas period is often an intimidating prospect for new doctors, and often we would rather *not* spend our holidays at the hospital. Yet, the wards are a pretty unique place to spend the holidays, or at least some of them, so in this Christmas special episode we could talk to some of our panellists who have already been doctors for a Christmas (or more) about their experiences of being on the wards during the holidays and about any advice they might have for those of us about to have our first holiday season in the hospital.

 

This week, Éabha is joined by Laura, an internal medicine trainee in Cambridge, and Kayode, a foundation year 2 doctor in London.
