Welcome to this new mini-series of CMF's 1st incision podcast, Junior Doctor Foundations.  We kick-start this mini-series with six episodes focusing on how to thrive as a Christian junior doctor living and working in a culture described as a ‘Digital Babylon'.  Life in the twenty-first century is accelerated and more complex than ever before. As Christians, especially junior doctors, it can feel like we are exiles living in a culture hostile to our faith. So how might we keep running the race of faith despite all the challenges? This podcast series is inspired by the book Faith for Exiles. Written by members of the Barna Research Group who have interviewed around 100,000 young adults, it focuses on what we can learn from the practices of those young people who have kept going with their faith. To introduce this mini-series are Lizzy Kennedy (a junior doctor based in Devon), John Greenall (a Paediatrician and CMF Associate CEO ) and Felicia Wong (a GP and CMF Head of Doctor's Ministries). To find out more about the book Faith for Exiles, check out  faithforexiles.com/   You can find more about the CMF research on this topic here at cmf.li/ResilientDisciple Find out more about CMF's support for junior doctors at cmf.org.uk/juniors/Support the show

Every year across the country on the first Wednesday of August new doctors start the first day of their careers. I remember my first day of FY1 back in 2018 - I was so excited but also VERY nervous. In today's episode I sit down with Dr Kantida Koysombat - a doctor just finishing her FY1 year - and we talk all about the first year as a doctor. We discuss how we both felt during those first few days and weeks, give advice and tips on how to make it easier, how to manage busy on-call shifts, the importance of looking after yourself, avoiding burnout, eportfolio and our experiences as women in medicine. We know how you're feeling and we've been through it too. I hope this episode helps you feel more prepared for your first year as a doctor.

Tomorrow, the first Wednesday in August, will be the first day of being a doctor for all foundation year one doctors in the UK. It will also be the first day that many doctors start specialty training or become a more senior specialty trainee. Understandably, lots of doctors in this situation will be feeling a mixture of excitement and pure terror! We thought it would be helpful to hear from our junior doctors of MWF to get their advice on the transition from student to doctor and at different stages of medical training. We also asked our social media followers who helpfully shared lots of their top tips with us! Our junior doctor members also share what they have gained from being a member of MWF and why they would encourage others to join. GOOD LUCK to all of you starting new jobs, especially our new FY1 colleagues. You've got this!!

NASGP member Eva Kalmus describes how she became co-chair of the new GeriGP group of the British Geriatrics Society (BGS), and why being a portfolio GP has never been boring. When I did my GP training, about half of the GP trainees undertook a self-made rotation of approved jobs, followed by a year in general practice to qualify. Some studied for MRCGP towards the end, and many transferred from other medical specialities. If I had stayed in hospital practice it would have been geriatrics for me. I was a geriatric SHO for an extra nine months with some wonderful, knowledgeable geriatricians and later held a clinical assistantship on long-stay wards, the NHS’s equivalent to today’s nursing homes. During my first FY1 job I had been inspired by a compassionate and wise consultant geriatrician, appreciated and admired by patients and staff alike. Years later, as a salaried GP, my practice manager forwarded me an advertisement seeking medical cover for community hospital beds; he said that the practice was not interested, but what about me? I continued with some GP sessions but had a wonderful 10 years as part of a multi-disciplinary team looking after mostly older people and learnt so much about rehabilitation, pragmatic discharge planning and cross-organisational working. I also worked in virtual and community wards, providing enhanced care in their own homes to patients at risk of admission to hospital and even dipped my toe in commissioning waters - discovering that I definitely got more satisfaction from patients than meetings! We can spend more time, and focus on these complex patients as well as developing services offering more proactive and holistic care, than is possible in traditional general practice. The community hospital moved onto the acute hospital site for a few months’ rebuilding work and I rediscovered my curiosity about the best that specialist medicine could offer to older people. The clinical director offered me an unfilled post for a community geriatrician. So my job title of Interface Medicine GP was invented, and I have had a rollercoaster four years managing moderate and severe frailty around an acute setting. These patients de-compensate significantly in response to a minor stressor and so are admitted and treated aggressively, but then take a long time to recover - if they do at all - and are often confused, de-conditioned and institutionalised by their prolonged hospital stay. For some, a team - of which I was part - could prevent the admission, but much of the work is smoothing the path to a rapid and effective discharge when hospital no longer offers a net benefit. It was from these experiences that I felt the need for mutual professional support. Some geriatricians expressed unease that a “mere GP” can undertake some of their role successfully, albeit differently. And some GPs are not aware of the complex issues involved for people with greater degrees of frailty who particularly need continuity of care, advanced care planning and the necessity of good communication with them, their carers and other professionals coming into contact with them. Over time I’ve probably learnt more than the average GP about the geriatric giants summed up recently as the 5Ms—mind, medication, mobility, multi-complexity and matters most. My knowledge of acute medicine has been updated, but I am not keeping entirely up to date with the latest guidance on contraception, child health etc because I do not think there is enough space in my brain or time to cover it all thoroughly. However, I reject the concept of being a second-class geriatrician: through conferences, following up leads from appraisers and some good luck, I have now met a growing number of GPs working in a variety of...

An overview of the most dangerous drugs you will prescribe as an FY1.

"Doctor, Mr Jones's urine output has been low for the last 3 hours, can you come to review him please?" This is a common call to trainees on surgical wards. But what is a low urine output, why is is low and what are you going to do? In the second in their series on common problems on the ward facing FY1/2 and core trainees (interns and junior residents), Jennifer Murphy and Daniel Couch take you through definitions of adequate and poor urine output, causes and management of the problem so that you'll know what to do when you're called. Essential listening for medical students and trainees in surgery alike, this will be one of the most useful 10 minutes you can spend listening. Jennifer Murphy and Daniel Couch are trainees in Surgery in the East Midlands School of Surgery, UK

What are you going to do when you are asked to see a patient in pain?! What drug will you give? What if it doesn't work??! Help is at hand... Ben Baker and Tom Heinink discuss the WHO pain ladder in this audio podcast. They discuss all you'll need to know to manage post operative pain and pain in patients presenting as emergencies to surgery in a logical and stepwise manner, using the World Health Organisation ladder as a model. This podcast is essential listening for medical students coming up to finals, foundation doctors (interns) and core trainees (residents), as well as for those wanting to update their knowledge in th field which affects all patients coming to surgery. Ben Baker is a Academic Foundation Year 2 doctor at the Royal Derby Hospital, and Tom Heinink is a speciality registrar in anaesthesia in the East Midlands of the UK, currently doing research with the University of Nottingham.

Background: In a previous study in the Fleckvieh dual purpose cattle breed, we mapped a quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting milk yield (MY1), milk protein yield (PY1) and milk fat yield (FY1) during first lactation to the distal part of bovine chromosome 5 (BTA5), but the confidence interval was too large for positional cloning of the causal gene. Our objective here was to refine the position of this QTL and to define the candidate region for high-throughput sequencing. Methods: In addition to those previously studied, new Fleckvieh families were genotyped, in order to increase the number of recombination events. Twelve new microsatellites and 240 SNP markers covering the most likely QTL region on BTA5 were analysed. Based on haplotype analysis performed in this complex pedigree, families segregating for the low frequency allele of this QTL (minor allele) were selected. Single-and multiple-QTL analyses using combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium methods were performed. Results: Single nucleotide polymorphism haplotype analyses on representative family sires and their ancestors revealed that the haplotype carrying the minor QTL allele is rare and most probably originates from a unique ancestor in the mapping population. Analyses of different subsets of families, created according to the results of haplotype analysis and availability of SNP and microsatellite data, refined the previously detected QTL affecting MY1 and PY1 to a region ranging from 117.962 Mb to 119.018 Mb (1.056 Mb) on BTA5. However, the possibility of a second QTL affecting only PY1 at 122.115 Mb was not ruled out. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that targeting families segregating for a less frequent QTL allele is a useful method. It improves the mapping resolution of the QTL, which is due to the division of the mapping population based on the results of the haplotype analysis and to the increased frequency of the minor allele in the families. Consequently, we succeeded in refining the region containing the previously detected QTL to 1 Mb on BTA5. This candidate region contains 27 genes with unknown or partially known function(s) and is small enough for high-throughput sequencing, which will allow future detailed analyses of candidate genes.
