Hi Kylie
Hehehe a bit of competition!
Working in the NHS we all have to do a bit of multitasking to get the job done. Luckily the team I work in is absolutely fantastic and we all muck in to help. There are some things that only doctors/only nurses etc can do but everyone can make cups of tea for a busy colleague, help clear up the office etc.
We have 20 patients on our wards usually, so we are simultaneously looking after all of them! This includes meeting with them to talk about how they are feeling, monitoring their physical health, potentially increasing or decreasing medication, meeting with families, writing reports, teaching medical students and so much more. I’m exhausted just typing all of that haha!
Working in healthcare can be very busy, the hours can be long and it can be hard, but it’s also incredibly rewarding! We’re like one big family and help and support each other 🙂

Steven here, well……ME! : )
Actually we all multitask well but as the team works well together and we trust and support each other it never really feels like you have to cover everything yourself.

Hi Kylie- we all have to know how to multitask. Each day is unlike the last and it feels invigorating. I would hate to do a dull job where I was just doing the same thing every day.
