6.25am- Early wake up this morning. My morning schedule varies depending on what I’m doing, but I always feel productive if I get up before 7. 7.33am- watering my plant babies! My chillies are doing so well (apart from the dead one you can spot). I also got spring onions over the weekend, so hopefully they go well too! 8.38am- […]
** In collaboration ** Being in the healthcare field can be fantastic as long as you know what your clients are looking for. These days, there is an increasing focus on wellness, health, and longevity; while it was, arguably, just as important to people a few decades ago, now we actually have the technology to provide it. Your healthcare business can easily bulk up a bit when you know where to step and how to attract more customers. Here is a handful of the best advice from business experts so that you can give your clinic what it deserves: increased traffic, happier customers, and a much-needed boost to your revenue. First: Improving your productivity Many healthcare businesses these days struggle with time more than anything else. There simply isn’t enough time to take care of everything and, as a result, the time you get to spend with your clients will often end up suffering. The most important thing you can do is to, first of all, go through your everyday processes and make sure that you’re spending your time wisely. There are so many programs and different software out there that can help you to determine where you’re spending too much time and even organize your day a bit better so make sure that you’re researching these tools thoroughly. That way, you’ll be able to speed up those processes and spend the time where it’s needed the most, namely with […]
Hi all! I am Laura (@duoluola on insta) from the Netherlands, currently in Spain, and I am writing a PhD on Chinese calligraphy – trying to connect different fields of practice that I think belong together. It’s been great, but now I am in the final phase of editing which is a bit less fun, and I am trying to tie […]
I am Connie from @life_of_learning. Currently in my last year of my PhD program studying obesity and diabetes. I’m at the thesis editing stage and hoping to graduate soon! At 06:30, I wake up. Depending on when I have to get into the office, I wake up at different times. This is a typical Monday for me. At 08:15, I arrive at […]

It has been a few months since I last documented one of my ‘typical’ days as a PhD student, the last one was in October to be exact. So here is my first ‘day in the life’ post of 2019! 7.54am– I am up and ready to leave. Just making a salad roll for lunch. 8.42am- I have been at work […]
** In Collaboration** Choosing a career in medicine is just the first step in becoming a doctor. The biggest decision that you will have to make in the career is selecting which field of medicine you will go into and specialise in. Whether it’s obstetrics, family medicine, gynaecology or even the biggy – neurosurgery alongside people like Dr Timothy Steel – there is a field out there perfectly suited for you. The problem is working out which one you want to do. It’s a decision that will affect the rest of your career, so it is important to make sure it is the right one. You need to consider many different factors, which we will look into in this article. The work environment Each speciality has a balance between inpatient (hospital) and outpatient (clinic) medicine. When thinking about the field of medicine you want to go into, it is important to consider whether you love the pressure and intensity of caring for critically ill patients, or whether you want to be part of their long term recovery in an outpatient clinic.
