It was a ‘pinch me’ moment for our 1 to 5 medics @mel.themedic and @doctor.vinci when they met @drzoewilliams to record a podcast for us in London this week The trio chatted about Foundation Year doctor life, sharing experiences and stories about life at the start of a medical career Dr Mel said: “This was honestly a pinch me moment and I loved every moment of recording with Dr Zoe. The time flew past – it was amazing” Dr Vinci said: “Recording in a studio was a whole new experience for me. It was great to hear Dr Zoe explain how FY life might have changed over the years, but that lots of it has stayed the same “It made me remember we really are all in the same boat, and that will help me on days when work is feeling like a challenge” #doctorsofinstagram #doctorsofig

#ad My name is Emma and I am a Foundation Dentist! In my job I work one week in hospital and one week in practice – this means I’ll be a foundation dentist for 2 years. Something that I’ve found harder than expected is talking money! In dental school all treatment was free, so I didn’t have much experience in chatting about costs. Now it’s something I have to discuss at all appointments. A highlight for me this year was fitting a denture for a patient who has struggled for many years to find a set that fit. We were both holding our breath as we tried them in! In the future I want to do more of everything! I’ve especially enjoyed some more complex cases in secondary care, so I’m excited for another 18 months of learning and expanding my comfort zone. I LOVE that in my job I can help people and make a real difference to their quality of life and confidence. I also LOVE changing patients’ perspective of dentists/dentistry and helping people feel more comfortable in the dental environment. - @emma.mcalisterr #newdentist #foundationdentist #dentistsofinstagram
