Finally back in GP
So this is my first blog as an ST3. Hurray, I’m finally back in GP after successfully navigating my way through the hospital section of GP training. I’m struggling to believe that it’s now 9 weeks since I started back at my training practice as the time has just flown by.

The Countdown Begins ……….
I love a countdown, whether it’s counting down to my next holiday, Christmas or my current favourite, weeks until I can go back to GP for good (twelve!). I hated the idea of going back to hospital after loving my first six months working in GP, so life has been a bit of a giant countdown since then!

Sea, Sand and Solar Eclipses
My favourite part of Aberdeen is undoubtedly the beach and it’s a place that no matter how I feel I will always come away feeling in a happier mood just because I’ve been by the sea. I was down for a very cold walk a few weeks ago and got some stunning pictures. I love that from most places in ARI you can see the sea, especially from the children’s hospital where I work now. It fairly brightens up a long night shift if you can get a glimpse of the sunrise over the North sea.
I was lucky enough to be off work today and was able to join the crowds on Torry Battery to watch the solar eclipse. There was such a great atmosphere as we all stood on the hill hoping that the clouds would clear enough to give us a little glimpse. We weren’t disappointed as right on cue the clouds thinned to show the almost total eclipse at about 9.30 to many an ooh and aah! The local press were all out in force and it felt like there was a real sense of community. And to top things off there were some cracking views over the sea! All in all a great way to spend a morning off work.
Until next time……………..
