Being an early career doctor is a stressful time, and how medical work is structured may lead to few opportunities for support. Ollie Burton and I discuss that despite workload challenges, senior doctors can seek and create opportunities to support and train younger colleagues. This requires clinical leadership, and real understanding that training must be prioritises in order to develop future clinicians.
Ollie is presently (at time of interview) a clinical research fellow in neurosurgery with interests in simulation, education and workforce development. He runs a YouTube channel and blog to help give insight into training as a doctor, and to educate students and patients. You can find him at https://ollieburton.com/.
