Like so many of our Medical students, Leah Crabtree is currently experiencing a steep learning curve after joining the NHS as a Healthcare Assistant and working on a hospital ward treating COVID-19 patients.
During a four-part filmed interview, Leah provides insight into how her life has changed, what she鈥檚 faced day-to-day and how her fellow students and early graduates are keeping in touch to help each other make sense of what鈥檚 been happening.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of sadness, there鈥檚 a lot of sickness and there鈥檚 a lot of death but we鈥檙e also seeing lots of success stories and elderly people recovering and being able to go home which has been brilliant,鈥� said Leah.
鈥淲e鈥檙e of course sharing best practice for how best to use our PPE, what best to wear in the mornings, because we鈥檙e wearing disposable scrubs,鈥� she continued, 鈥渂ut we鈥檙e also making sure that we debrief each other at the end of the day because this is new and scary and can be quite sad so we鈥檙e making the most of coming home and making sure we talk about our days.鈥�
