It’s 20 years this weekend since I qualified as a doctor. I’ve worked in the NHS for 20 years (more, if you count medical student days).
2020 has been a year like no other. What have I learnt?

1. Patients and carers put their trust in you and rely on you. This is a great responsibility but an immense privilege. It is something to be proud, frightened and respectful of, in equal measure, always /2
2. Experience really matters. The longer you do this work, the better you are at spotting patterns and knowing what works and what doesn’t. From time to time, an experienced person's judgement can be as important as (and complementary to) guidelines, algorithms and evidence /3
