  • From A&E to Sports Medicine: A Junior Doctor's Journey in Shaping His Medical Career
    2024/09/14
    In today's episode of the Career Equation Podcast, host Erica Sosna sat down with Charles Hillman. He is a junior doctor working in A&E focusing on sports and rehabilitative medicine. Amid recent NHS strikes, Charlie provides a rare glimpse into emergency medicine today. He illuminates the realities of life on the medical frontlines. As he balances the pressures of the NHS with his aspirations in sports medicine, Charlie's experiences offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare. His perspective reveals both the challenges and potential solutions within the healthcare system. Charlie's journey into medicine began with a passion for science. His initial inspiration was shows like CSI. But, he realized the reality of medical practice. It was far different from its portrayal on television. He explains, "In school, you're, no matter how much work experience you do, you don't know what it's about. Um, you know, you see people with injuries and with illnesses. And you read books that describe what it's about, but it's not, it's nothing like what it is." Challenges of Emergency Medicine Charlie highlights the unique pressures faced by those working in A&E departments. He notes, "People say it takes a special kind of person to work every day in an A&E department because it is so busy, so noisy." The fast-paced environment and constant influx of patients can contribute to doctor burnout. This makes it crucial for medical professionals to develop coping strategies. Importance of Patient Care Despite the career challenges, Charlie emphasizes the rewarding aspects of emergency medicine. He shares a memorable experience. Charlie says, "I saw the nurses called me to see a patient who was quite unwell and hadn't been seen yet. And you see him with this massive distended abdomen, absolutely writhing out in pain... In my head, I was like, this is bowel obstruction. So send him straight for a CT scan and was correct." This quick diagnosis and helping patients gives Charlie and other emergency doctors a lot of job satisfaction. Balancing Efficiency and Compassion A key challenge in emergency medicine is balancing speed with compassionate care. Charlie reflects on this dilemma. He says, "Sometimes you have the time to flex and spend a bit longer with patients. You know, to do a job as you would want to do it very holistically. Whereas other times, a hundred people are waiting or something like that." Career Pathways and Professional Development Charlie discusses his future career aspirations. He talks about a potential move into sports and exercise medicine. He highlights, "I plan to move across to sports and exercise medicine. Where, you know, you have longer clinic times. You know, you can develop long relationships with patients, understanding them." This highlights the importance of considering various career pathways within medicine. And finding a specialization that aligns with one's personal and professional goals. Improving Work Environment Charlie shares an anecdote about taking the initiative to improve the work environment. He addresses the issue of high temperatures in a hospital area. He emphasizes the importance of speaking up and persisting when faced with workplace challenges: "What I find also within the NHS as a whole is people sometimes are too burnt out or too apathetic to report things because they just think oh nothing is going to change... I said I'm going to report this." Leadership and Mentorship Throughout the conversation, Charlie highlights the significance of leadership and mentorship in medicine. He aims to be a doctor who gives great care to patients. He aspires to help train future medical professionals. "I think so much medicine also is about training up the next generation of doctors," he notes. Conclusion Charles Hillman shares helpful views on the challenges of working in NHS emergency medicine. He highlights both the difficulties and the rewards. His insights offer a valuable perspective on the job. His experiences underscore the importance of addressing doctor burnout. He focuses on improving work environments and maintaining quality patient care. The medical field is changing quickly. Strong leadership, mentorship, and continuous learning are key to its future. These will help shape the future of healthcare. About Charlie Hillman Charles Hillman is a junior doctor currently working in A&E (Accident and Emergency) departments in the UK.

  • What are the secrets to this podcasting pioneer's fulfilling career?
    2024/09/14
    In this episode of the Career Equation Podcast, host Erica Sosna sits down with Gilly Smith, a seasoned journalist, food writer, and podcasting pioneer. Gilly's illustrious career spans television, radio, and print, with a particular focus on the politics and culture of food. Her experience includes working on programs about malnutrition. It focuses on the impact of markets on food security in countries like the Philippines and Guatemala. Erica points out that Gilly's career is fueled by passion and curiosity, which is a key theme in their conversation Gilly's journey into journalism begins with a deep-seated desire to make an impact and do something different every day. "I wanted to make a change in the world and I wanted to do something different every day," she recalls. This drive led her to work for Bob Geldof on Sport Aid. This role cemented her commitment to using storytelling as a tool for change. Her father, a storyteller and PR person for the army, also significantly shapes her narrative skills. "I was surrounded by that kind of capturing and getting people to unpack," she says. In this episode, Gilly shares her insights on the importance of storytelling in journalism. She discusses the challenges of a career change and the power of personal narrative. She also discusses her current career dilemma on how to transition her extensive expertise into a consulting career. The Art of Crafting Stories Gilly Smith's career is a testament to the power of storytelling in journalism. From her early days in television covering malnutrition and market impacts to her current role in podcasting and mentoring, Gilly's work is driven by a passion for storytelling. "It all came out of passion first," she says, reflecting on her career trajectory. Storytelling is not just about sharing facts. It is about creating an emotional connection with the audience. Gilly's ability to weave narratives that resonate with people is evident in her work on food journalism. "I was always communicating about the impact of food on people's lives, the politics of food, and the culture of food," she explains. This focus on the broader implications of food goes beyond mere reporting. It offers a deeper understanding of the issues at hand. Finding Your Passion For Gilly, finding her passion is a journey marked by self-discovery and resistance to conventional paths. Initially set to study French and European studies at Sussex University, she experiences a turning point during a gap year in Paris. "I did not want to be a translator for NATO. I didn't want to work in that world. I wanted to be curious," she shares. Encouraged by her mother, Gilly switches to a pioneering journalism course at Coventry and dives into mass media and communication. This decision proves pivotal, allowing her to explore her passion for storytelling and activism. "It was the most important time of my life. I was surrounded by people who were political and talking about ideology and film studies," she recalls. Overcoming Career Resistance Gilly's journey is not without its challenges. Transitioning from a successful career in journalism to consulting requires overcoming internal resistance. "I'm so freelance in nature, so free-spirited. I love the creative, the no rules," she admits. This resistance is not uncommon for many professionals contemplating a career change. Erica and Gilly discuss the importance of valuing one's expertise and positioning oneself as an expert in a more structured way. "It's just a branding question," Erica suggests. She emphasises the need for clarity and conscious positioning. Gilly acknowledges this, noting that she needs to apply the same principles she uses to help others to her own career. The Power of Personal Narrative Gilly highlights the significance of personal narrative in shaping one's career. Her own story, marked by a love for storytelling and a desire to make an impact, serves as a powerful example. "That interior landscape was where I began to play, where I began to make up stories," she says, reflecting on her childhood. This personal narrative is not only a source of strength but also a tool for connecting with others. By sharing her journey, she inspires listeners to reflect on their own paths. She tells people to consider how their experiences can inform their careers. "Finding your tribe, talking to people, discussions, having your mind blown was something that I loved," she concludes. The Career Equation: A Framework for Success The podcast introduces the concept of the Career Equation, a framework for aligning skills, passions, impact and importantly, environmental fit. Gilly's career serves as a prime example of this equation in action. Her skills in "communicating and curating," combined with her passion for "making change," have led her to create "a network of change makers." Conclusion Gilly Smith's insights into podcasting, journalism, and career transitions offer valuable lessons for anyone navigating ...
