Course syllabus
Getting the job is only the first step
Plenty of good doctors struggle in their first NHS post, not because of clinical ability but because the systems, expectations and culture are unfamiliar. This session helps you settle quickly, meet expectations and build the kind of reputation that leads to references, extensions and progression.
What we cover
- The first 90 days - what your seniors expect, how to ask for help well, and the habits that mark you out as reliable.
- Appraisal, probation and revalidation - what evidence to gather from day one so these are never a scramble.
- Working within the team - communication, escalation, and navigating the multidisciplinary team and the hierarchy.
- When things go wrong - how to respond to feedback, complaints or a difficult relationship early, calmly and professionally.
- Wellbeing and sustainability - protecting your time and energy so you can keep going.
Who it is for
Doctors new to the NHS, and anyone who has found their current post harder than expected and wants practical strategies rather than platitudes. The focus throughout is on the small, concrete behaviours that keep you safe, respected and employed.

“Best MRCEM prep I did. Small group, real ED scenarios, and tutors who clearly still work clinically. Worth every penny.”
