While I was at Salisbury hospital doing work experience, Dr Khan (an ENT doctor I shadowed) suggested that maybe I should write a research paper and that he'd be willing to write one with me. So after exams I got back in contact with him and now we have started a paper. It is still very much a work in progress and is having to fit around my more pressing engagements like personal statement writing but will gradually come together and I hope that it will be published by the new year at some point. I know that through a doctor's career it is important to write a series of case reports and research papers in order to have successful career progression. I thought that it would be a good idea to get a head start, which works perfectly as I find the whole process of medical research and writing papers really interesting. I'll keep you up to date as the paper starts to come together more but I am very excited to be working on a piece that could actually be properly published and will also have the official 'tick in the box' from a doctor in whose position I hope I will end up some day!
