Blog August 2024
Introductory blog – meet the new medical education fellows!
Our new medical education fellows started in August but have spent a lot of time in meetings and organising calendars so far. We’re excited to get started with all of our teaching activities and meeting students!
We have offices on both sites (located in the education departments) and there should be someone present on site every day. We really want you to come and meet us, so if we’re not in the office we are probably around the department somewhere, just come and find us!
Without further ado…
Hello, I’m Reya, an F3 who previously worked in Redhill, Surrey. I am interested in anaesthetics but have also enjoyed working on care of the elderly previously. Outside of the hospital I enjoy reading, dancing and playing badminton. I am looking very forward to being involved with the Medical Education Team this year and getting to know all the students. I am particularly interested in Wellbeing, so if you would like to discuss anything around this please do get in touch with me.
I’m Molly, an F3 who previously worked in Yorkshire. I haven’t decided on specialty yet, but I love anything generalist, especially geriatrics! In my spare time I enjoy reading fiction, painting and hiking. I’m especially interested in reflective learning and debrief, so if you experience anything on the wards or at home that you want to talk through please contact me for a cup of tea and a chat.
Hello! I’m Sneha, one of this year’s medical education fellows. I completed my Foundation training at Tunbridge Wells. Initially certain that I wanted to pursue a career in Medicine, a rotation in Paediatrics completely changed my perspective and I fell in love with the specialty. Originally from Singapore, I now spend a lot of my free time trying to recreate the sort of food I’d get there. I hold an undergraduate degree in Law before I did medicine and am continually fascinated by the possibilities of interdisciplinary studies. If you’d like to discuss any of these shared interests or have any questions related to medical education, please feel free to reach out.
Hi! I’m Serena, an F3 who did foundation training at MTW and I am looking to do dermatology in the future! I’m in charge of Virtual On Call this year and I am passionate about outreach and widening participation. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, travelling and reading (and being chronically online). Feel free to contact me if you need any advice about medical school or foundation training at MTW!
I’m Tash, an FY3 who completed my foundation training in London. After being inspired by my FY2 rotation I hope to pursue a career in paediatrics in the near future! In my spare time I enjoy walking my dogs, camping and game nights with my friends. For this upcoming year I am excited to have the creative control to help design the teaching programme for Yr5 students, hopefully getting to know many of you who pass through the MTW Trust in the process! If you have any suggestions for teaching or just want a chat my door (and email) is always open.
Hi, I’m Molly an FY3 previously working in London. I’m currently interested in applying to ACCS specifically anaesthetics, but change my mind quite regularly about what I’d like to do. My main interests within education are clinical skills and simulation teaching. Outside of work I love my cats, football (YNWA), and anything crafts related.
Hello! I’m Martha, one of this year’s medical education fellows. I completed my foundation training at MTW and plan on applying for Anaesthetics or Surgery (ENT) this year (hoping a lovely F3 will help me finally decide between the two!), what can I say; I love an airway. I’m originally from Edinburgh, and previously did a degree in English Literature before going on to do Graduate Medicine. I love all things simulation and anything that involves procedural skills and I’m hoping to bring some Pre-Hospital teaching to MTW. In my spare time I love to read fiction, write, hike, travel around the UK seeing pals and family (as well as travelling further afield but organising a bunch of Doctor friends schedules is an almost impossible task) and go to festivals. If you have any questions, need any advice, or just fancy a chat, I’m happy to be a listening ear, you’ll be able to grab me mostly at TW or drop me an email.
