Inthemess UK: Recent Episodes

In the mess UK

Hi, we're in the mess.

We're a group of junior doctors who believe that the age of death by powerpoint is over. Medical education is changing as the needs and expectations of undergraduate and postgraduate students evolve. We used to work in firms and learn from our colleagues on the job, but rotas, shifts, rotations and pandemics make this harder than ever- we have our textbook knowledge but we lack the personal touch.

On this channel you'll find focussed content that directs you to the stuff you need to know, and doesn't waste your time with the stuff you don't.
